CHAPTER 8 FILE RECOVERY: FINDING “LOST” IMAGES 101FIGURE 8.2
If you have
selected the
correct drive,
Preview should
show the files
you’re trying to
recover.
- Click OK to close Preview and then click the OK button on the Select Drive
window. - The Select Sector Range dialog box will appear with two slider bars. Slide the
End Sector (the bottom) slider bar all the way to the right.
These slider bars are preset to half the capacity of the flash media unless the
media is small (smaller than 32MB). Sliding the bottom slider to the right will
force the software to scan the entire flash media card. - Click OK to begin scanning the media. Be patient while the software scans
the drive—this could take a few minutes.
You’re halfway through recovery. When the main File Recovery window
appears, you will see a File Manager (Windows Explorer) representation of
the medium (see Figure 8.3). The software was able to find the files listed in
this window. In the following section, you will see how you can recover spe-
cific images or entire directories.
