The main menu for CnW Recovery is displayed once the Wizard has been exited. There are several simple menu functions as displayed below. This screen is the start of all manual operations, generally for disks that can not be recovered by the Wizard

main_menu

Wizard

    This Icon will take the user back to the recovery Wizard

Recover

     In this mode, the media is read and a new option screen is displayed depending on teh type of media. There is a separate screen for CDs / DVDS FAT, NTFS, MAC, Unix media and MTF files

Partitions

    The partitions function is most commonly used when the boot sector of the disk has failed, or been corrupted

Image Raw

    The Im’g icon is for imaging. This is a mode where the media is read, sector by sector and either produces a complete disk image file, or the data can be split into different files depending on file starts. It is very useful for instance for extracting all JPEGs from a camera memory chip.

View Sector

    The View icon lets the user view sectors on the media as a Hex dump.

Properties

    When clicked it will give a very brief description of the media, including type of media if it is a CD, and the number of files

Configure

    The configure function is used to set up user preferences, and registration code.

Log

    The Log is a record of all restores and imaging operations, including error messages.

Drive selection

    The combo box of all drives that have been detected, and do contain media. Thus, an empty DVD drive will not be displayed until it has a DVD, and the refresh function has been applied.

 

In addition to the icons, there are several drop down functions as listed below
