Detailed Steps to File Recovery

Step 2 - Select the Drive To Search

The next wizard screen performs a scan to identify the devices (hard drives, digital camera, USB drive etc) that are connected to your computer. Select the device/s you wish to search by using your mouse to place a green tick in the box next to the device name.

Wizard Screen 2 - Selecting the device to search

The "Add a Folder to Search" option allows you to add existing folders into your search. Doing this will allow you to search the 'active' files on you disk (i.e. those that are not deleted). You may wish to do this in order to search for temporary files created by programs such as Microsoft Word. There are two default folders included for selection. One is the "Recycle Bin", which is included to verify whether any files still are in the Recycle Bin but have not yet been emptied. The other the "Documents and Settings" folder, which is often used by programs such as Microsoft Word to store temporary copies of your files.

Use the "Double click here to ADD a FOLDER to the Search..." button to add additional folders to the search.

To remove folders from the search, click on the tick to de-select it or double-click the folder name to completely remove it from the Select Drives and Folders window. 

To proceed press the Next button.  This button will only be available if a listed disk drive or folder is selected.
