Open volume

Before read, edit or recovery files and folders you should open the volume where they were located. Depending on the damage level some of the following volume open methods are applicable.

1. If the volume is accessible by a letter (C:, D:, ...), you can open it via the dialog box "Select drive", "Logical Disks/Volumes" ("DOS Services" for DOS version);

2. If the volume has no letter, you should select physical device, where the volume is located, – in the dialog box "Select drive", "Physical Devices" ("ATA Interface" or "BIOS Services" for DOS version). Then open the dialog box "Partitions", select the item "found", select the volume from the list and open volume.

3. If it is impossible to open the volume from the dialog box Partitions, try "NTFS or FAT volumes search" depending on the volume file system (under Windows NT/2K/XP/Vista, NTFS is the default file system for volumes on hard drivers). This allows finding and recovery data after more serious damages. Read "Scan for NTFS/FAT" section for more effective recovery.

Also, the volume may be opened from the Editor Window when view the volume boot sector or its copy as "NTFS/FAT/FAT32 Boot sector".

It is also possible to open the volume or entire drive image from the file: open image.

The previous volume is closed on open new volume.
