The Windows registry is one of the most important parts of the Microsoft Windows operating system. It is a database, which stores all the configuration options and Windows settings. The registry also contains settings for low-level operating system components and applications, which run on the Windows platform, such as services, device drivers, kernel, user interface, SAM, and third-party software. In case this hierarchical database gets corrupted, your system may not start and you may not be able to access Windows partitions on the drive. This behavior of the Windows operating system leads to the loss of critical partitions. To recover partitions lost in such cases, you should opt for Windows Partition Recovery.
