When we upgrade Windows XP on your system then it may not pay off well. It may show some problems because of damage of some setup files on the hard disk, which does not get overwritten during the upgrade process. Here some corrective measures need to be taken to resolve the issue and if it is not get solved , then a hard drive recovery software is the ultimate solution.
These are the possible error messages :
•C0000221 (Bad Image Checksum)”
•“STOP: C0000221 - Bad Image Checksum in ModuleName”
•“STOP: C0000221 - Bad Image Checksum. User32.dll is possibly corrupt. The header check sum does not match the computed check sum.”
The possible causes behind these errors are :
•There is a damaged file in the Windows folder, and when you performed the upgrade this file was not overwritten by the Setup program.
•One or all of the RAM (Random Access Memory) memory modules, which are fixed in the motherboard, are defective. It may be possible that the RAM configuration is not compatible.
The issue can be fixed through any of these methods
•Copy the User32.dll file from Setup CD: You should run the Windows XP Setup CD to overwrite the damaged User32.dll file. Restart the system after copying the file.
•Remove or replace the problem RAM: You should replace the existing RAM from a new RAM. Or else, try to use different combinations of RAM to check and remove the faulty RAM.
•Install Windows to a different folder: You should perform a parallel installation to another folder.
Although the above methods are very effective to resolve the issue but in case they fail, then the user must switch to some third party hdd recovery software. Stellar Phoenix Windows Data Recovery, is one of the most prestigious name in the field of hard drive recovery software. I have tried it and done a lot of research to test it in different circumstances. It is applicable to deal with exFAT, FAT, and NTFS file systems.
