Scan for Deleted Partitions

Detected partition can be scanned as any other Logical Drive for Files and Folder. You can scan detected partition to verify partition content before partition restoration or to be able to recover (copy) files to safe location if partition was deleted or damaged. To scan a physical device for deleted partitions:

  1. In the Recovery Explorer select a disk (physical device) node. Open Scan Disks dialog box:

    • Click Scan button in view's toolbar
    • Click Scan command from context menu
    • Double-click and disk (physical device) node

  2. Define scan range and other scan options if necessary
