This module works only with deleted files and allow to “undelete” them (another popular term is “unerase”).
Intact file system is important for this module. If you know that there is something wrong with your file system (for example, you did not delete some folder/files but you cannot access them) or you see something strange with Windows, you should use “Hard Drive Recovery” module.
First of all, you see list of all logical volumes found on Host Computer:
Choose one of them and press the “Recover” button (if you are familiar with file system details, you can change “Advansed Settings” before pressing the “Recover” button).
VirtualLab will read file system on selected volume:
After a few second, VirtualLab will scan empty (unused) disk space:
This step can take some time depending on size of unused disk space. You have to wait until this scanning is finished,
otherwise VirtualLab may not be able to find and recover deleted files.
After this scanning is finished, you’ll see some progress bars – VirtualLab is building file system in memory:
And, finally, you see file/folder tree.
