Setup

The wizard offers the following steps to accomplish the undelete partition operation:

• Free blocks to scan for lost partitions. Choose a free block from a tree-like list of available hard disks.

• Search method. By default, the wizard selects the fastest search method for your operating system. In most

cases that will do to find any accidentally deleted partition. However if you're under Windows XP for

instance (the Conventional Search option is selected), but the deleted partition you're looking for has been

created with the Disk Management utility under Vista, the wizard won't be able to find this partition, unless

you manually select the appropriate option (Quick Search for Partitions Created by Vista or Later OS).

Moreover if the wizard still fails to find the partition you need, you can select the Thorough Search option to

scan every single sector in the specified search area to get the most accurate results.

To know more on the available search methods, please use the context sensitive hint

system.

• File system filter. By default, the wizard will search for all known file systems. However, by clicking on the

appropriate option on the second page of the wizard, you can specify only those file systems you need.
