To browse, view, edit, and recover files and directories you should find and open a volume containing data. Use the following methods depending on the damage.
1. If the volume is not damaged and accessible by a letter (C:, D:, ...), you may open it via the dialog box Select Drive by selecting the option Logical Disks/Volumes (or DOS Services in the DOS version). This method is suitable to recover deleted files from a healthy volume. If it is not possible to open the volume or properly recover the files try the next method.
2. Select a physical device containing the volume (Select drive – Physical Devices, or under DOS – ATA Interface or BIOS Services). Then select and open the volume in the dialog box Partitions. If it is not possible to open the volume in such a way or data is still not properly recoverable try using the next method for the most complicated cases.
3. Run NTFS or FAT Search depending on the volume file system and open one of the found volumes. Read the section NTFS/FAT Search for more efficient recovery in this case.
Use the command Open volume parameters in the context menu to manually change some parameters before opening the volume.
If the initial storage is a RAID you probably need to Construct RAID instead of opening single physical device.
Also, the volume may be opened from the Editor Window when view the volume boot sector or boot sector copy in NTFS/FAT/FAT32 Boot sector mode.
