Virtual volumes

The concept

The virtual volume definition is required for ZAR to resolve various references used by the filesystem. Correctly defined virtual volume allows the "Follow" feature of a disk viewer to function, greatly simplifying navigation.

 

Setting up a virtual volume

Using an existing boot sector (recommended approach)
ZAR can define the virtual volume based on the existing boot sector. This is the most reasonable approach if the boot sector looks undamaged. To do so:
  • Navigate to the boot sector
  • Make sure the appropriate view format is selected (you need data to be presented as a boot sector on screen)
  • Pick "Define a virtual volume" on a "Disk viewer" menu.
  • Click "Import ..." button.

Manual operation
If no boot sectors survived, it is possible to enter the data manually. Pick "Define a virtual volume" on a "Disk viewer" menu, then fill in the data as required.

He who fails to fire up ZAR after a disk crash is asking for trouble.

Our customers say

My brother has a smart media card which was taken by an old digital camera. He could not get pictures downloaded nor print them directly from the camera (he can see them on the camera screen) and photo shops in Japan had no success either. Well, I told him that I can try here in the U.S. I could see files but downloaded files looked corrupted. I took it to a professional photo shop but they could not do anything with it and, [...] A friend of mine pointed me to this site. What a heck..nothing to lose. Well, to make a long story short, the software worked beautifully and I was able to recover 167 pictures in the matter of minutes. Thanks and my brother thanks too.
