Device Selection

Before searching and opening a volume or disk editing you should either open a device via the dialog box "Select device/disk" or construct RAID.

Logical disks/volumes / DOS Services should be selected only if the volume is not damaged (e.g. to recover deleted files from healthy volume).

You may also open Disk Image from a file instead of accessing real device (click or Enter the top item to add a new image to the list).

Uncheck Show partitions checkbox to disable auto open and search partitions.

Use Parameters button to set device I/O error handling.
