Selecting the Logical Drive to Scan
Select the Logical Drive that might contain the deleted data you need to recover.
The Logical Drive Scan process is an essential way of analyzing the surface of the drive. It collects directory structure information for further browsing and recovering. |
 |
Selecting the Scan Type
Choose the method for scanning the drive and then start the scan.
- Use Simple Drive Scan - This is the default method. Try this first to minimize recovery time.
- Use Advanced Drive Scan - If no deleted files and folders were detected using a Simple Drive Scan, try this option. An Advanced Drive Scan is more thorough in examining the disk's surface.

Scanning is in Progress
Scanning logical drives is a required step for recovering files and folders. You can do this scan as a part of the Recover Files and Folders Wizard, or you can apply the scan separately.
After a logical drive scan is complete, you will be able to browse the Folder Tree and view all detected files (existing and deleted).
You can use the browser to select the files and folders you need to recover. |
