Bad Trap error message in Sun Solaris operating system can be caused due to hardware and software issues. Two major outcomes that you might encounter after the above error message occurs are unbootable hard drive and data inaccessibility. To overcome the bad trap error message and access the data, you will need to restore the data from a recent backup. However, if no backup is available or backup fails to restore the required data, then you will need to use advance Sun Solaris Intel Recovery Software.

Consider a practical scenario, where you install a new device driver on your system. After the installation process is complete, your computer system hangs and displays the below error message:

“BAD TRAP”

After the above error message appears, the data saved in the hard drive becomes inaccessible.

Cause:

Few primary reasons for the occurrence of the above error message are discussed below:
-> Faulty hardware
-> Mismatch between hardware and configuration information
-> Bad or down-rev CPU (Central Processing Unit)

The above error message occurs when below conditions are true:
-> System text or data access fault
-> System data alignment error
-> Certain kinds of user software traps

Resolution:

To troubleshoot the above error message and access the data, you will need to follow the below steps:
1. Verify that the software was correctly configured
2. Check the kernel trace back displayed on the console to see which device generated the trap
3. If the configuration files are correct, you will probably have to replace the device.

However, if the configuration files are incorrect and the above steps fail to resolve your problem, then you need to opt for advanced Sun Solaris Intel Data Recovery Software to recover the lost data. Such Sun Solaris Intel Recovery tools incorporate high end scanning algorithms to recover your lost data. Such recovery tools recover lost data after fsck command is unable to repair the system data structures. Built with highly graphical user-interface and advanced features, these utilities serve as self-explanatory and recovery centric tools.

Stellar Phoenix (Solaris - Intel) software is the finest Sun Solaris Intel Data Recovery utility that ensures absolute recovery of data from Solaris operating system on Intel platform. The non destructive tool is compatible with UFS file systems. It gets installed on Windows (XP, 2003, 2000, NT, ME, 98 and 95) and the affected UNIX hard drive should be connected as slave.
