Tips to Solve PPT Error: 'Part of File is Missing'

PowerPoint is a presentation application that is used to create presentations for several education, business, and training purposes. These files are often directly created and stored on a removable media in order to move them freely to a different location, other than original computer. But while doing so, a PowerPoint user performs some practices that can result in corruption and ultimately require PowerPoint Recovery solutions to repair the corrupted file.

The further error and its details will help you comprehend such problems. Consider, a user saves an important PowerPoint presentation on a removable media. Further, when he attempts to open the file, it doesn't behave as expected and fails to open. Moreover, an error is received that reads as below:

“Sorry, the file cannot be opened because part of the file is missing.”

As a result of this error, data stored in specific presentation remains inaccessible to the user.

Cause:
The PowerPoint presentation is corrupted. This can occur due to:
  • Lost network connection while the file was being closed, saved, or accessed.
  • Unexpected power outage while the file was opened for PowerPoint to access
  • Removal of the removable media when the presentation was still open
  • Disk being locked by an antivirus software or a disk utility when the presentation was opened
  • File system errors in removable media
Solution:
To recover data from such corrupted PowerPoint presentations:
  • Open the corrupted presentation on a different computer with same version of PowerPoint
  • Run chkdsk to correct disk specific errors
  • Try to open the file by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer
  • Drag the file to PowerPoint from Windows Explorer
If the above measures don't work, restore the file from the last good backup. But in case, no backup is available, you need to use a PPT Recovery utility. Designed to run powerful, yet safe, scanning algorithms, these PowerPoint Recovery tools can scan and repair the corrupted presentations in most effective manner. Their simple interface adds to excellence.
