Device I/O Dialog Box

Device I/O Parameters   Device I/O Handler Script

If an error occurs during device I/O then the dialog box appears where you can choose how to handle the error. Attention! Make sure to read the information on working with damaged devices.

The following information is displayed: [W] indicates that error occurred when writing to device, LUN - disk number in the virtual RAID, sector numbers where error has occurred, attempt number, error number, and error description (given by OS in Windows). After a number of retries (defined by parameters) program waits for a user reaction (unless skipping errors mode in parameters is selected) and the button Retry becomes active. Dialog box appears before the block of data is processed.

Abort: abort the current operation.

The operation will be aborted. The error sectors won't be copied to the destination (this behaviour may change in the future versions). The button is inactive if the operation can't be aborted due to the process logic.

Retry: retry I/O.

In some cases it is possible to successfully read a sector and continue without data distortion after a number of retries. The button is inactive while I/O is in progress.

Ignore: continue the operation ignoring the error.

The current operation will be continued but most probably with the data distortion. When reading a file system this may cause the loss of some files and and a directory structure.

Ignore all: continue the operation ignoring the same errors.

The current error will be added to the Error List of error codes that will be automatically skipped after a certain number of attempts (defined by parameters) without waiting for the user choice.

Update: update the list of devices, and update the device handle. Use the additional parameter reopen device handle on error for automatic updating on each error.

ATA Reset: perform ATA soft reset. Available only if device is opened via ATA interface under DOS.

Parameters: Device I/O settings

Confirm, Cancel: used for %CONFIRM% variable in the Device I/O Handler Script
