14. Select the local disk where you want to recover the data, and select Next.
Note: If you replaced the original hard disk, the new disk must be at
least as large as the original disk.
In addition, if you are recovering a system disk, the system to which you are
recovering the data must be identical to the original system. For example, if
the original system had a particular type of network adapter, the system to
which you are recovering the data must have the exact same type of network
adapter. Otherwise, the recovered files will not operate properly.
15. If you selected a disk in step 10, go to step 18.
If you selected a partition in step 10, select Recover to an existing partition to
recover to an existing partition on the selected disk, or select Reformat the
local disk and recover to a new partition to delete all the existing data on the
selected disk and recover only the selected partition.
16. If you selected Recover to an existing partition in step 15, select the partition
where you want to recover the data and press Enter. (Otherwise, go to step 18.)
For system partitions, the Active column displays Yes.
17. If the selected partition is the original partition, go to step 18.
If the selected partition is not the original partition, select Yes to use the selected
partition, or select No and select a different partition.
18. Select Yes to confirm the recovery.
Caution:
The status screen displays the progress of the recovery. You can cancel it at any
time by selecting Cancel. However, this leaves the local disk or partition in an
incomplete state (some of the data will have been recovered, but not all of it).
This overwrites any existing data on the selected disk.
Although you can subsequently recover different data, you
cannot recover the original data.
