Physical drive and partition options

Disk access method

Controls how devices are accessed. Preferred access method is using physical devices. You should change this setting only if you cannot get your device listed in ZAR. This may apply to some models of USB "key-disks" and flash memory cards (especially when a flash memory card is accessed via the digital camera rather than a card reader device). When "logical drive" method is used, you will not be prompted to select a volume (partition) since each device represents a separate volume. Additionally, loading a disk image file is impossible if access via logical drives is selected.

 

Check for MBR/LDM information on removable drives

If enabled, ZAR attempts to read and analyze partition table layout on removable drives. Some removable devices (like ZIP disks) do not store this information, so analysis attempt gives bogus if any results. In such a case proceed by using "Manual" partition selection option, and specify that there was only one volume on the disk.

 

Read and parse LDM (Dynamic Disk) information

LDM (Logical Disk Manager) is a Windows 2000/XP and higher component which implements Dynamic Disks features, including striped, spanned, and fault-tolerant volumes. Its database is read and analyzed to extract dynamic volumes layout. The dynamic disks are not allowed on removable devices and on the laptop computers, hence you may disable this option if this is your case. Additionally, it should be disabled if there are no dynamic disks and physical problems prevent reading of the database.

I just can't believe it. 2 corrupted Zip disks with thousands of images on them recovered in minutes by downloading this software. I just can't believe my eyes, my pictures are saved! I am ohappyone! Simple to use and it really works. It was not able to recover the original names and properties but one zip disk I have had for 5 years hoping to find a program like this to save it for me.
