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.
• IO R/W File | Use ReadFile/WriteFile functions to access device |
---|---|
• IOCTL SCSI | Use SCSI driver request (SCSI timeout can also be set) |
Overlapped | Allow I/O Dialog box popping up before I/O completes. It seems to be useless and is not recommended to use. |
ATA Interface | Use direct device access via ports (for IDE or SATA disks in IDE mode timeout can be set) |
---|---|
BIOS Services | Use BIOS functions to access device |
DOS Services | Use DOS functions to access logical disk |
use DMA | Supported in Professional Edition only |
If some specific devices are not listed in the dialog box you may open them using the option Open image and manually entering device path, e.g. /dev/mmcblk0.
