• Select an image file to use for restoring your drives from the list of
those found on your system hard drive.
• Click the Scan >> button to look for additional image files if you
don't see the one you want to use. Image scans your hard drives for

Image defaults to restoring the master boot sector, partitions and the File
Allocation Tables. In most cases, you should use the Image default
settings. If you are an advanced user, you may want to only restore one
or two of the options:
• Master boot sector–Select this option if you cannot start the PC from
your system hard drive. The master boot sector is the sector on your
system hard disk that contains boot information with instructions
for starting up your PC.
• Partitions–Select this option if you cannot find a logical drive on
your PC. Partitions subdivide a physical drive into multiple logical
drives. Each partition has its own drive letter.
• File allocation tables–Select this option if your files are corrupted
and you have been unable to repair them using Disk Minder. Often
much or all of your data may be intact on the disk, but the file
allocation tables (FATs) may be damaged. By restoring the most
current copy of a disk's FAT, you can often recover files that would
otherwise be lost.
optimized your hard disk and have not run Image, try using Disk Minder
to repair the hard drive first.
