Before searching and opening a volume or disk editing you should either open a device via dialog box "Select device/disk" or construct RAID.
Logical disks/volumes / DOS Services should be selected only if the volume is not damaged (e.g. to recover deleted files from healthy volume).
Uncheck Show partitions checkbox to disable auto open and search partitions.
Use Parameters button to set device I/O error handling.
| • IO R/W File | Use ReadFile/WriteFile functions to access device |
|---|---|
| • IOCTL SCSI | Use SCSI driver request (SCSI timeout can also be set) |
| Overlapped | Allow I/O Dialog box popping up before I/O completes. It seems to be useless and is not recommended to use. |
| ATA Interface | Use direct device access via ports (for IDE or SATA disks in IDE mode timeout can be set) |
|---|---|
| BIOS Services | Use BIOS functions to access device |
| DOS Services | Use DOS functions to access logical disk |
| use DMA | Supported in Prof. Edition only |
If some specific devices are not listed in the dialog box you may open them using the option Open image and manually entering device path, e.g. /dev/mmcblk0.
