I Introduction to R-Studio
R-Studio is a family of powerful and cost-effective undelete and data recovery software. Empowered by new
unique data recovery technologies, it is the most comprehensive data recovery solution for recovering files from
FAT/exFAT, NTFS, NTFS5, ReFS/ReFS2+ (Windows), HFS/HFS+ and APFS (Macintosh), Little and Big
Endian variants of UFS1/?UFS2 (FreeBSD/?OpenBSD/?NetBSD/?Solaris), Ext2/3/4FS and XFS (Linux) partitions.
It functions on local and network disks, even if such partitions are formatted, damaged or deleted. Flexible
parameter settings give you absolute control over the data recovery.

BigEndian (used by the FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD operating systems);
CD/DVD/Images: ISO9660;
Magnetic tape devices: UStar/Tar/CPIO/Pax (R-Studio Technician/T80+).
Please note, that when a file is being deleted on the HFS, HFS+, HFSX file systems, the computer
completely removes all system information on it, and there is no way to recover the deleted file except by
using the Extra Search for Known File Types option. Nevertheless, R-Studio is able to read existing files
from HFS, HFS+, and HFSX disks.
· Support for known file types. R-Studio searches for files with known typical features of their structures
allowing the user to search for files on devices with unknown files systems, including an HD, CD, DVD,
floppy disk, Compact Flash Card, USB drive, ZIP drive, Memory Sticks, and other removable media.
· Scan process visualization. While scanning an object, R-Studio graphically shows items that have been
found, including files of known types, FAT and NTFS MFT records, boot records, etc.
· Mass file recovery support.
· Support for estimation of chances for successful recovery.
· Support for file recovery lists - lists of files that can be exported from R-Studio, manually edited, and then
loaded back. Files from such lists will be automatically marked for recovery.
· APM, Basic and GPT support. R-Studio supports all three partition schemes used to define the low-level
organization of data on drives formatted for use with Macintosh computers.
· Dynamic disk support.
· Software RAID, volume set, and stripe set support. Support for RAID 6, RAID 5, and RAID 4 layouts.
Support for custom RAID layouts. Parameters like block size and order, offsets, and even the number of
stripe blocks can be explicitly specified. Custom RAID configurations can be saved.
· Support for Windows Storage Spaces, created by Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10/?Threshold 2/?
Anniversary/?Fall Creators updates.
· Support for Apple software RAIDs
· Support for Apple CoreStorage/?FileVault/?Fusion Drive Volumes
· Support for Linux mdadm Volumes
· Support for Linux LVM/LVM2
· Support for Intel Software RAID.
· Hardware RAID, volume set, and stripe set support.
· RAID consistency check (check for valid data parity values).
· Automatic RAID parameter recognition.
· Virtual objects can be mounted in the host system as read-only virtual drives. They can remain mounted even
then R-Studio has been closed.
· Creates image files for an entire drive, logical disk, or its part. Such image files can be processed like regular
drives. Images can be either simple exact object copies (Plain images), compatible with VmWare Virtual
Machine disks (in the Corporate and Technician/T80+ versions), or R-Drive Image compatible that can
be compressed, split into several parts, and password-protected. Images may be saved either on the local or
remote computer. Image creation can be stopped and then resumed. R-Studio can scan objects while
creating their images. R-Studio Technician/T80+ supports multi-pass and runtime imaging. Images can be
mounted in the operating system as devices which makes their content accessible to any program including
any other data recovery software.
· Recovers files on damaged or deleted partitions.
R-Studio can create image files for an entire drive, logical disk, or its part. Such image files can be processed
like regular drives. Images are very useful if there is a risk of total data loss due to hardware malfunction. If bad
blocks are constantly appearing on a drive, the only way to save the data is to immediately create an image of
that drive. All data search, scan and recovery can be done from this image.
R-Studio Technical Support Team is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and has an average response
time less than 4 hours.

Depending on the task R-Studio performs, its panel may vary. Those panels are described in appropriate topics.
The Properties tab names and values are described in detail on the Properties tab topic.
The general settings can be set on the Settings dialog box.
You may also copy the object's information displayed in the Drives panel. Right-click the object on the
necessary column and select Copy Device/disk, Copy Label, and so on.
R-Studio has two operation modes:
File search on a partition (including recently found during drive scan).
In this mode, R-Studio analyzes MFTs on NTFS partitions, FATs on FAT partitions, and SuperBlocks on
Ext2/3/4FS partitions. Then it displays all files which records have been found in the analyzed tables. Then
recently deleted files, which records still remain, can be recovered. If files have not been found, that means that
their records have been deleted. In this case, the drive must be scanned.
File search supports file masks and regular expressions. Multiple files in different folders can be found and
recovered in one recover session.
R-Studio supports mass file recovery. There is no limit in the number of files that may be recovered during one
session.
File content may be previewed before recovery.
File or drive binary data can be viewed and edited in the Text/?hexadecimal editor. Also can be viewed and
changed all attributes for NTFS files.
Drive scan, searching for partitions.
In this mode, R-Studio scans the entire drive or its part. Using a number of statistic and deterministic criteria
known as IntelligentScan technology, it determines existing or existed partitions on the drive, and their file
systems. It is also possible to add new partitions, by setting manually all required parameters.
A drive can be scanned through several successive scans, each with its own parameters. R-Studio
accumulates the information from successive scans and keeps track of changes in the information obtained from
different scans. The information obtained from the disc scan can be stored in a file. It may be loaded and
processed later at any convenient time.
1.5 R-Studio Settings
You may specify some global setting for R-Studio on the Settings dialog box. You may reach it by selecting
Settings on the Tools menu.

Symbolic Links
Settings are available in the Technician/T80+ version only!
Symbolic links (of symlinks for short) are object that contains references to other files or folders directory in the
form of absolute or relative paths and that affect pathname resolution. For example, if a symlink C:
\ProgramData\Documents points to D:\Recovered Files\Root\Users\Public\Documents, entering it
will result in entering D:\Recovered Files\Root\Users\Public\Documents.

THEY RESIDE!!!
Or you may obtain unpredictable results and lose all of your data.
See the Data Recovery Issues topic for details.
Basic file recovery can be made for deleted files that has resided on an existing logical disk visible to the
operating system. In all other cases, Advanced Data Recovery is required.
To recover deleted files from a logical disk (recognized partition),
1 Double-click a logical disk in the R-Studio's Drives panel to enumerate files on the disk
Other ways to enumerate files
· Select the disk and click the Open Drive Files button,
or
· Right-click the selected disk and select Open Drive Files on the shortcut menu,
or
· Select the disk and press the F5 key.
or
· Select Open Drive Files on the Drive menu

selected, R-Studio recovers the real folders/?files structure on the
disk rather than that of sorted files.
Skip files with bad sectors If this check box is selected, R-Studio skips files with bad sectors
and displays their list on the Files with bad sectors dialog box
when the recovery has been completed. You may separately
decide later what to do with those files. See Bad sectors for
details.
If this check box is cleared, R-Studio tries to read those sectors
several times (specified on the Settings/?Bad Sectors dialog
box), and, if fails, fills bad sectors in the recovered file with the
pattern specified on the same box. Information about such files will
appear in the Log.

2.1.5 File Masks
R-Studio shows only those files/?folders that match the specified file mask. File mask affects files/?folders that are
processed by the Recover and Find commands.
To specify a file mask,
1 Click the File Mask button
Other ways to specify the file mask
· Right-click a folder and select File Mask on the shortcut menu
or
· Select the folder and select File Mask on the Tools menu
2 Specify the file mask on the File mask dialog box and click the OK button
Mask dialog box
Bad sectors Specifies whether there are bad sectors in the files. Not known: it's unclear if there are
bad sectors in the files.
Runtime image Specifies whether the files have already been included into the runtime image.
Date Specifies file date boundaries. Dates for Modified, Created, and Last Accessed
timestamps may be set separately.
The Set for all button sets the specified data for all fields.
> R-Studio will show only those files that match the specified file masks
Click the Unmask button to remove the applied mask.
Mask presets
You may set various presets with different file masks. Just click on the Plus button to add the data from the dialog
box to the presets. You may also give presets names, delete them, and store them permanently.
2.1.6 Regular Expressions
Regular expression is a notation for patterns of text, as opposed to exact strings of characters. The notation uses
literal characters and metacharacters. Every character which does not have special meaning in the regular-
expression syntax is a literal character and matches an occurrence of that character. For example, letters and
numbers are literal characters. A metacharacter is a symbol with special meaning (an operator or delimiter) in the
regular-expression syntax.
. Wildcard: any character
* Repeat: zero or more occurrences of previous character or class
^ Line position: beginning of line
$ Line position: end of line
[class] Character class: any character in the set
[^class] Inverse class: any character not in the set
[x-y] Range: any characters within the specified range
\x Escape: literal use of metacharacter x
\<xyz Word position: beginning of the word
xyz\> Word position: end of the word
For example, the following regular expression .* matches any string of characters, ^a matches any string
beginning with character a.
2.1.7 Event Log
R-Studio logs and displays events in the Log panel. You may set a Log filter to display only needed information
and to write it to a log file. You may specify the log settings on the Settings dialog box.
You may clear or save the log
To clear the log,
* Right-click the Log panel and select Clear Log on the shortcut menu.
To save the log to a file,
* Right-click the Log panel and select Save Log to File on the shortcut menu.
Click Copy (Column Name): To copy the record's Type, Date, Time, Text, depending on which column is
selected
Click Copy Selected Text: To copy all the columns of the selected record.
3 Specify the required parameters on the Scan dialog box and click the Scan button
Scan dialog box
Scan options
Drive Size: Shows the size of the object to be scanned
Start: Sets the start point of the area to be scanned.
Size: Sets the size of the area to be scanned.
Numbers in these fields can be in bytes or sectors. See the Data Formats and Multipliers topic for
more details on data formats.
File Systems: Specifies the file systems which objects are to be searched for.
Current version supports: FAT, NTFS, exFAT, ReFS, Ext2/3/4FS, XFS, HFS,
APFS, and UFS file systems. The Technician version supports also the ISO9660 file
system.
Please note that if you need to scan an HFS, HFS+, or HFSX disk, always enable the
Extra search for Known File Types option. This is very important because when files are
being deleted on the HFS, HFS+, HFSX file systems, the computer completely
removes all system information on them, and there is no way to recover the deleted files
except by using the Extra Search for Known File Types option. See Data Recovery
on HFS/?HFS+ file system for details.
Extra search for Enables search for Known File Types.
Known File Types
Save scan Info to If this checkbox is selected, R-Studio will save scan information to a specified file.
File: Later this file may be opened. Please note, that this option does not save actual drive
data, only information on drive data structure gathered during drive scan.
If
Simple view If this option is selected, R-Studio will show only scan progress.
Detailed view If this option is selected, R-Studio will show graphic representation on objects found
during scan.
None If this option is selected, R-Studio will not show the Scan Information tab during
scan.
Buttons
Scan Starts scanning
Advanced Activates advanced scan options
Known File Selects file types that R-Studio will recognize during the drive scan.
Types...
If a remote computer is connected for Data Recovery over Network, the Scan dialog box will have a
different look
and the Save Scan Information File dialog box will appear when you select a place to store scan info. You
may save it to the local or remote computer.
Known File Types (raw file search): While scanning, R-Studio can recognize the data’s particular file type.
Using such information, R-Studio can obtain more information about data/?file structure on the object being
scanned. By default, R-Studio tries to recognize the default list of supported file types specified on the
Known File Types tab of the Settings panel, greatly increasing time required for the scan. You may reduce it
by selecting only those file types that you need. Click the Known File Types... button and select the required
file types on the File Types dialog box. These selections will be applied to that scan session only.
R-Studio places such found files in the Raw Files section in the the Drives panel.
File Types dialog box
Clear All Click this button to clear all file types in the list except some predefined ones.

Note: Using scan for Known File Types, R-Studio can successfully recover only un-fragmented files.
You may also specify your own file types for scanning. See Customizing File Types for details. User-
defined file types precede over built-in ones, if their definitions overlap.
You may set the defaults for known file types on the R-Studio Settings.

R-Studio Corporate version and higher can create images directly on hard drives making in fact disk clones.
To create an image,
1 Select an object in the R-Studio's Drives panel and click the Create Image button
Other ways to create the image
· Select the object and select Create Image on the Drive menu
or
· Right-click the selected object and select Create Image File on the shortcut menu
2 Specify image options, a file name, and destination for the image on the Create Image dialog box
Note: To store an image file, you need a free space equal to at least the object size.
Create Image (Main) dialog box
Image Options
Image filename Specifies the name and path for the image file
Image type: Compressed image (R-Drive Image compatible): If this option is selected, R-Studio
will create an image file which can be compressed, split into several parts, and
password-protected. This image file is fully compatible with the images created
by R-Drive Image, but incompatible with the previous versions of R-Studio.
Byte by byte image to a file: If this option is selected, R-Studio will create a
simple exact copy of the object.
VMDK (ViMware Virtual Machine Disk) image: If this option is selected, R-Studio
will create an image of the VMware virtual disk type. Available in the Corporate,
Technician, and T80+ license.
Byte to byte image to a physical disk: R-Studio will create an exact copy of the
disk on another hard drive. Data on the target drive will be overwritten. Available
in the Corporate, Technician, and T80+ license.
Image compression You may compress the data in the image to save space. Active only if the
ratio Compressed image (R-Drive Image compatible) is selected.
Estimated size Shows the estimated size of the image file. An actual image size depends on how
much empty space is on the selected partition and what file types are there.
Active only if the Compressed image (R-Drive Image compatible) is selected.
Image split size You may set this option to Automatic and let Windows decide how to split the
image file. This mostly depends on the file system on the destination drive. You
may also either explicitly specify the split size, or choose a preset for various
devices with removable storage. Select Fixed size for that. Active only if the
Compressed image (R-Drive Image compatible) is selected.
Password You may protect your image file with a password. Note: This feature provides a
relatively moderate protection against conventional unauthorized access. Active
only if the Compressed image (R-Drive Image compatible) is selected.
Create scan information If this option is selected, R-Studio will perform drive scan simultaneously with
file image creation. See the Drive Scan help page to learn scan options.
Read retries Specifies a value for I/O Tries, or how many times R-Studio will try to read a
bad sector.
R-Studio treats bad sectors in the following way:
It reads a certain part of drive (predefined by Windows) and
· If Default read attempts is set to 0, the entire part with bad sectors will be filled
with the specified pattern.
· If Default read attempts is set to a non-zero value, R-Studio reads again that
part sector by sector, repeating the attempts the specified number of times. If
R-Studio still cannot read a bad sector, it fills the sectors with the specified
pattern. In this case only the bad sectors will be filled with the pattern, but that
extremely slows the drive read process.
For example, if you set Default read retries to 1, a bad sector will be read 2 times.
Pattern to fill bad blocks Specifies a pattern R-Studio will use to fill bad sectors in this image. You may
specify the pattern either in the ANSI or Hex data format.
Note: R-Studio will never ever try to write anything on the drive from which
data is to recover or an image is to create. This pattern fills bad sectors only in
the image.

R-Studio Technician/T80+
These options are available only in the Technician/T80+ versions.
To resume the creation of the image for the same object, select the same file name for the image. You'll be
able to create a new image file or continue to create the image for the object.
Resuming image creation
R-Studio will create a new file for every new start of imaging for the .rdi and .vmdk file types.
To process an already created Image, the image file should be opened.
To open an image
1 Click the Open Image button, or

What algorithm is to choose, depends on your specific needs. All of these wiping algorithms make recovery of
wiped data with any software-based data recover utility impossible. So if you want to protect your information
from a casual snooper, you may safely choose either the Zeroes or Pseudo-random numbers algorithm. The
latter also conceals the fact that you wiped the data.
If you want more security, you need to know the following:
There are some techniques for recovery of wiped data. These techniques are based on the fact that magnetic
medium on the hard drive's platters "store" some information about previously written data. Such information
cannot be completely removed. Wiped data may be recovered even from mechanically damaged platters. So the
only safe way to completely remove data from a hard drive is to mechanically grind the magnetic medium off the
drive platters or dissolve them in special chemical solvents.
But in order to recover the wiped data using one of these techniques, a hard drive must be disassembled, its
platters placed in a precise magnetic field measurement system, and the results of such measurement statistically
processed. All that is very expensive and requires a very qualified and experienced personnel and a specially
developed equipment. Only a very advanced organization such as a law enforcement or intelligence agency of a
developed nation, or a special high-tech firm can afford this. Moreover, each successive wiping pass makes such
data recovery much and much harder. So, the DoD 5220.22-M(3) clearing and sanitizing standard overwriting the
data with a special pattern through 3 passes is a rather reliable and safe choice for this case.
If you need the ultimate security, use the DoD 5220.22-M(7) clearing and sanitizing standard, the Bruce
Schneier(7), or even the Peter Gutmann (35) wiping algorithms. They render data almost unrecoverable, but they
are extremely slow.
Memory considerations
R-Studio stores information about found files in computer memory. If there are too many files, R-Studio may
run out of it. To avoid this, you have two options:
Remove If this option is selected, R-Studio removes the Hidden attribute from all files.
Keep If this option is selected, R-Studio keeps the Hidden attribute for all files.
Extended options
These options give you more flexible ways to process multiple files with the same name. You may compare
files by time (Modified) and size, and decide what R-Studio should do with those duplicates. If any of the
files has an invalid time, the comparison by time is skipped. In this case, if comparison by size is not active,
R-Studio goes to the default action..
Extended advanced file recovery options
First compare These options instruct R-Studio which condition to use first, file time or size.

Prompt If this option is selected, R-Studio asks the user what to do for each such file. It stops file

Rename If this option is selected, R-Studio adds a File ID to the file name. If a file already exists with
the same name and that file ID, a number will be added to th file name and file ID.
Skip If this option is selected, R-Studio skips all new files with the same name.
Overwrite If this option is selected, R-Studio overwrites the existing file with the new one.
Time If the Modified time stamp is invalid, R-Studio will skip the comparison.

Bigger The existing file is bigger than the new one.i
By default The action R-Studio takes when none of the comparison conditions have been met. That
may happen when the comparison by size is not enabled.
2.3.3 Recovery Lists
You may create a file containing a list of files and folder found on a disk/partition. Then such file may be manually
edited to specify files to recover, and then loaded back into R-Studio. R-Studio will automatically mark the files
in this list for recovery. Such lists are very useful, for example, when it is necessary to have many files approved
for recovery by someone else who is far away from the computer where R-Studio is running.
You may create recovery lists for the entire disk or for specific folders. Moreover, you may create a recovery list
for all files within the disk/folder, or for marked files/folders only.
All versions of R-Studio can create recovery lists in the plain text format with basic functionality. R-Studio
Technician/T80+ can create custom recovery lists in other formats with more advanced options
Creating a simple recovery list
To create a recovery list
1 For an entire disk, select Export Recovery List on the File menu, or
Right-click the uppermost folder (higher than Root, usually the letter or the name of the disk) and select
Export Recovery List on the shortcut menu.
For a specific folder, right-click the folder and select Export Recovery List on the shortcut menu.
2 Specify the place to save the recovery list and other necessary options on the Export Recovery List
dialog box
Export Recovery List dialog box
:* Mark the file, or the folder and its files, don't mark subfolders in the folder.
:- Unmark the file, or the folder, its files, and subfolders in the folder.
:= Unmark the file or the folder and its files, dont unmark subfolders in the folder.
:! Provide the information on the file. (R-Studio Technician/T80+ only)
R-Studio processes records in the list consequently. That is, if there are the following lines in the file,
:+Files_to_Recover\
:-Files_to_Delete\File_2.jpg
the file File_2.jpg won't be marked for recovery, while for the lines
:-Files_to_Recover\File_2.jpg
:+Files_to_Recover\
file File_2.jpg will be.
Loading the edited recovery list
To load a recovery list into R-Studio,
* Select Import Recovery List from the File menu and select the file, or
Right-click the uppermost folder (higher than Root, usually the letter or the name of the disk) and select
Import Recovery List on the shortcut menu.
> R-Studio will load the file and mark the files accordingly.
An example of a simple recovery list
As an example, we'll create a simple recovery list, edit it to mark only those files that are to be recovered, and
load it back to mark those files.
To create such recovery list
* Mark the necessary folders, right-click the Root folder, and select Export Recovery List on the shortcut
menu.
Right-click the uppermost folder (higher than Root, usually the letter or the name of the disk) and select
Export Recovery List on the shortcut menu.
Export Recovery List

MyPhoto6.JPG
MyPhoto7.JPG
MyPhoto8.JPG
MyPhoto9.JPG
If such recovery list is created from an entire logical disk/partition, it will contain several virtual folders. For
example, they'll have the following structure for an NTFS partition.
///m/$Extend/
///m/$Extend/$Deleted/
///m/$Extend/$RmMetadata/
///m/$Extend/$RmMetadata/$Txf/
///m/$Extend/$RmMetadata/$TxfLog/
///m/$Extend/$RmMetadata/$TxfLog/$Tops
///m/$Extend/$RmMetadata/$TxfLog/$TxfLog.blf
///m/$Extend/$RmMetadata/$TxfLog/$TxfLogContainer00000000000000000001
///m/$Extend/$RmMetadata/$TxfLog/$TxfLogContainer00000000000000000002
///m/$Extend/$RmMetadata/$Repair
///m/$Extend/$ObjId
///m/$Extend/$Quota
///m/$Extend/$Reparse
///m/$AttrDef
///m/$BadClus
///m/$Bitmap
///m/$Boot
///m/$LogFile
///m/$MFT
///m/$MFTMirr
///m/$Secure
///m/$UpCase
///m/$Volume
Now we need to edit this file to mark for recovery the following folders/files:
1. All files in the root folder;
2. Two files MyPhoto1.jpg and MyPhoto3.jpg in the Diving subfolder;
3. All files in the Diving/Aquarium/ folder;
4. All files in the SF/ folder except the SF/Sea-Lions/ subfolder.
The edited simple recovery list
The final simple recovery list will be the following:
:# Version = 1
:# Sort = by real
:# PathDelim = /
:# CaseSensitive
The SF folder

2.4.12 Various Disk and Volume Managers
R-Studio can work with objects created by various disk and volume managers. Currently, the following
managers are supported:
· Windows Dynamic Disks
· Windows Storage Spaces
· Apple RAIDs
· Apple CoreStorage/? FileVault/?Fusion Drive Volumes
· Linux mdadm RAIDs
· Linux Logical Volume Manager (LVM and LVM2)
R-Studio can automatically recognize and add their physical components, component images, or the user can
manually add the components when their data is damaged so severely that R-Studio cannot recognize them.
2.4.12.1 Windows Dynamic Disks
R-Studio supports dynamic disks, including Windows software RAIDs, mirrors, and spanned volumes. When
R-Studio detects components from such dynamic disks, it assembles them accordingly.
R-Studio detects components form dynamic disks and creates those dynamic disks automatically. At the same
time, R-Studio gives access to the parents of the dynamic disks (drives and images).
Windows dynamic disks (RAID5) in R-Studio
If recognized parents of a dynamic disk, including drive images, are added to R-Studio later, it automatically
adds them to their respective dynamic disk.
When an automatically created dynamic disk is selected, R-Studio highlights its components.
Also, R-Studio automatically detects inconsistent components of dynamic disks and marks them accordingly.
R-Studio shows the components of the selected dynamic disk on its LDM Components tab.
LDM Components tab
The LDM Components tab also allows you to manually disconnect or connect the components, for example, if
they are such damaged that R-Studio cannot recognize them as parts of a broken dynamic disk. Select the
object from the drop-down box and click the Connect button. R-Studio displays the objects it recognizes as the
components of the dynamic disk in blue.
You may immediately switch to the dynamic disk configuration that R-Studio believes most probable by clicking
the Reassemble button.

Storage pools and spaces is a new storage technology, first introduced in Windows 8 and Windows Server
2012, that allows the user to combine various (not always similar) drives into a kind of a RAID or compound
volume. First, the drives are combined into a storage pool, then several storage spaces with striping (similar to
RAID0), mirroring (similar to RAID1), and parity (similar to RAID5) can be created in that storage pool. You
may read more about storage pools and spaces in the Microsoft's Storage Spaces: FAQ.
R-Studio supports Windows Storage Spaces created by Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10/?Threshold 2/?
Anniversary/?Fall Creators updates.
When drives from a storage pool are connected to a Windows computer, it automatically detects them and
assembles storage spaces accordingly.
Storage spaces
Storage pools and spaces can be managed using the Storage Spaces item in the Control Panel.
Storage spaces
R-Studio detects drives (or their images) from storage pools and creates storage pools and spaces
automatically. At the same time, R-Studio gives access to the parents of the storage spaces (drives and images).
If recognized parents of a storage space, including drive images, are added to R-Studio later, it automatically
adds them to their respective storage space.
When an automatically created storage space is selected, R-Studio highlights its components. It also highlights
the storage space that Windows may itself create from the same components.
R-Studio shows the components of the selected storage space on its WSS Components tab.

OS X can create several software RAIDs from drives connected to a Mac computer: RAID1 (Mirror set),
RAID0 (Stripe set), and Concatenated disk set.
R-Studio detects components of Apple RAID sets and creates their virtual RAIDs automatically. At the same
time, R-Studio gives access to the individual components of the Apple RAID sets (drives and images).
Apple RAIDs in R-Studio
If recognized components of an Apple RAID, including drive images, are added to R-Studio later, it
automatically adds them to their respective Apple RAID.
When an automatically created Apple RAID is selected, R-Studio highlights its components.
R-Studio shows the components of the Apple RAID on its MacOS Components tab.
The MacOS Components tab also allows you to manually disconnect or connect the components, for example, if
they are such damaged that R-Studio cannot recognize them as parts of a broken Apple RAID. Select the
object from the drop-down box and click the Connect button. R-Studio displays the objects it recognizes as the
components of the Apple RAID in blue.

The macOS operating system has the following disk management systems:
FileVault, is a disk encrypted utility;
Fusion Drive is an Apple's hybrid drive technology;
CoreStorage is a logical volume management system.
R-Studio supports all these technologies and can unlock their encrypted volumes (drives and images) using either
their passwords or recovery keys.
CoreStorage/FileVault
Locked CoreStorage Volume in R-Studio
If the volume is partially encrypted, R-Studio can recognize which part is encrypted and which isn't. It will
provide a correct access to the unencrypted and encrypted parts of the volume, provided that the correct
password is entered.

Mount options
Mount as: Physical drive: The virtual drive will be mounted as a read-only virtual physical
drive. Windows will search for partitions on it, and if it finds any with supported
file systems, it will assign disk letters to them. Recommended if the drive should be
accessible to the host Windows and other programs in the system. If the data on
the drive is severely damaged, it may slow down, lock, or even crash the host
Windows.
Partition: The virtual drive will be mounted as a read-only partition with a virtual
partition table created by R-Studio. Recommended if the drive should be
accessible only to another data recovery program.
Drive letter Select the disk letter for the virtual drive if the virtual drive is mounted as a partition.
The letter may be assigned automatically by the system, specified manually, or the
virtual drive may have no letter at all. The latter is recommended if you don't want
Windows to analyze the data on the drive.

and there is R-Studio Agent Emergency that can be used to start a computer from which you are going to
recover data that cannot start other way due to a file system crash, for example. Please, note that you need to
use R-Studio Emergency as an emergency agent if you want to start a Mac computer.
R-Studio can work equally with all versions of R-Studio Agent and access computers run under Windows,
Mac OS, and Linux.
You must have enough rights on the remote computer to install and run R-Studio Agent.

Unlike R-Studio Agent for Windows and R-Studio Agent for Mac, R-Studio Agent for Linux is a console application and
should be run in the Terminal. You also need to mark it as an executable before start.
When it is started for the first time, R-Studio Agent for Linux asks for its configuration.
R-Studio Agent for Linux Configuration dialog box

configure .
> R-Studio Agent for Linux will connect to the computer where R-Studio is running and it will show the
drive and logical disk structure of the remote computer.
2 Select a computer from the list on the Connect to Remote Computer dialog box and enter the
password
Otherwise, you need to specify in the Computer: field the name or IP address of the remote computer where
data are to be recovered. The Port should coincide with the port specified for the R-Studio Agent.
The Password: field is for the password of R-Studio Agent running on the remote computer. If you want to
see the entered password, right-click the field and select Show password on the shortcut menu.
Note: If the remote computer is started with R-Studio Agent Emergency, leave this field blank.

When the Recover dialog box appears, you may select whether you want to save recovered files on the local
or remote computer. Saving recovered files on a remote computer may be useful when the remote computer
has a healthy drive because you do not have to transfer files over network. It may be an external USB drive,
for example.
When R-Studio connects to the remote computer, it check if R-Studio Agent is present and its password.
If there is no R-Studio Agent installed, R-Studio may try to remotely install it. See the R-Studio Agent
topic for details.
2.5.3 Connecting over the Internet
Available in the Technician/T80+ only.
R-Studio and R-Studio Agent can be connected over the Internet. The connection can be made either using IP
addresses or DNS names.
If hosts where R-Studio and R-Studio Agent are running have public IP addresses the connection can be made the
same way as for the local network, except that the IP address or DNS name should be explicitly specified in the
Computer filed the Connect to Remote Computer dialog box
If either (or both) of the hosts are on private networks behind NATs and firewalls and do not have public IP
addresses, the corresponding ports should be opened or forwarded. In addition, connection should be made
either only from R-Studio or from R-Studio Agent.
Connection directions
* Both R-Studio and R-Studio Agent have public IP addresses (no NAT/?
firewall) or the ports on the NAT/?
firewall are forwarded/?
opened.
* R-Studio is behind a NAT and R-Studio Agent has a public IP address or the ports on its NAT/?firewall are
forwarded/?
opened.
Select Wait connection from remote computer, and specify options for incoming connections.
R-Studio Incoming Connection Options
Password: Enter a password to obtain access to this computer from a network.
Allow connection Select this option if you want to allow connections to R-Studio from any IP address
from any address
Allow connection Select this option if you want to allow connections to R-Studio from a specific IP
from the host address or a network
IP Address specifies addresses from which this computer can be accessed.
Subnet Mask specifies subnet mask of the network from which this computer can be accessed.

HTML format
This is a default format of recovery lists for the R-Studio Technician/T80+ version. It allows its users to supply
their customers with the recovery lists with the easiest way to edit.
You may export the default HTML template and edit it to adapt it for your own purposes.
When the customer loads an HTML recovery list in their browser, they can mark files they want to recover, and
export their names into the final recovery list in the plain text format.

Sector Map Files
Sector map files are files that contain information about conditions of drive sectors, which may be good, bad,
slow, and unstable. R-Studio estimates chances for successful file recovery basing on these files and avoiding
unnecessary attempts to read bad sectors. Sector map files are crucial for multi-pass imaging.
R-Studio creates its own sector map files or can import such files created from other disk imaging programs.
Currently R-Studio supports sector map files from HDDSuperClone and DDRescue.
To open, save or clean a sector map file for an object,
* Right-click the object and select Open Sector Map, Save Sector Map, or Clean Sector Map,
respectively, on the shortcut menu.
You may look at the graphical representation of the loaded sector map by starting I/O Monitor.

the drive. Cloning to a physical drive is not recommended because Windows can write some data to the
drive corrupting the imaged data when the image has been completed and runtime imaging is over.
Plain image file requires immediate allocation of disk space equal to the object size, whereas VMDK image
file is growing gradually upon imaging progress.

Runtime imaging
Such image contains information about the entire file system, but if a non-imaged file is opened, it'll contain
only zeros.
3.7 Multi-pass Imaging
Multi-pass imaging is a process of image creation through several passes (phases). Each phase reads data from
different areas of a hard drive, starting from areas with good sectors then going to slow sector areas and finishes
with bad sector areas. This approach maximizes the amount of data that can be recovered from a failing drive
and reduces it chances to fail during this process.
R-Studio tries to read the rest of data in the next phases, and does that sector by sector (rather than blocks).
Phase 2. Trimming
R-Studio detects the front and rear sectors of bad sector areas. When this step is finished, some new good data
from bad sector areas has been read, and R-Studio has detected the front and rear sectors of all bad sector
areas.
Phase 3. Scraping
R-Studio tries to read data from bad sector areas sector by sector.
Phase 4. Retrying (mostly optional)
R-Studio tries to read data from bad sectors through several attempts.
You may read more about this process in our article Multi-pass imaging in R-Studio

Initially, the reverse RAID is set to its default values as RAID 5 on the Parents tab.
> Process the appeared reverse parents in the Drives panel as real objects.
These parents can be imaged, viewed/?edited, etc.
Suppose you have a RAID 5 with one missing drive and you need to reconstruct data on that drive. You can do
that by creating a reverse RAID for it and then copy data from that missing drive to a real one, or to an image.
Note: Many controllers write their own metadata to drives to recognize that the drives belong to certains RAIDs.
Without that metadata they won't see those RAIDs. You have to write that metadata manually.
To create a reverse RAID of a RAID with a missing drive,
1 Create a virtual RAID 5 of the existing drives or their images
Add a missing drive to the Parents tab.
If necessary, read the Basic RAID 4 and RAID 5 Operations and Volumes Sets and RAIDs help pages for
details.
2 Right-click the Virtual Block Raid in the Drives panel and select Create Reverse RAID on the shortcut
menu.
> The Reverse parents will appear in the Drives panel
These parents may be processed as real objects, they can be imaged, viewed/?edited. For your case the
missing drive can be copied to a drive in the Drive Copy Wizard.
Note: The reverse parents contain the data that should be on the RAID parents, according to its layout,
while RAID parents contain actual data, that may be corrupted.
3.9 Working with the Third-Party Hardware
The Technician/T80+ version of R-Studio can work together with third-party hardware developed for in-depth
data recovery. Currently, the following devices are supported:
· DeepSpar Disk Imager™
· DeepSpar USB Stabilizer
· DeepSpar RapidSpar
· PC-3000 UDMA hardware
Read the DDI documentation on how to install DDI connect the drives to DDI and start working with it.
The DDI board should be installed into a separate network computer (the DDI computer), and the source and
clone drives should be connected to it. The DDI computer should be started using the boot USB stick supplied
with the board. R-Studio running on another computer (the R-Studio computer) accesses the drive via the
network. All data recovery operations will be done through this setup:
There may be several DDI computers on the network, R-Studio will connect to all of them. Such configuration
may be useful for RAID recovery when several drives on the RAID have hardware problems.
Working with DDI
To start working with DDI, its computer should be connected to R-Studio.
To connect R-Studio to the DDI computer,
* Select Connect to DDI on the Drive menu
> The drives connected to DDI will appear in the Drive pane.
Now it is possible to work withdrives connected to DDI like all other drive objects in the Drive panel. For
example, such drives may be included into virtual RAIDs and other compound objects.
You may also image individual files and view file maps.
R-Studio can also load and process images created with the DeepSpar Disk Imager™.
Connecting to DeepSpar Disk Imager™ manually
If R-Studio cannot find DeepSpar Disk Imager™, the Select Interface dialog box will appear. Try to find the
DDI interface manually.
If any drive issue occurs, USB Stabilizer handles this issue drive issues preventing the system from freezes,
crashes, or disconnecting the drive. Such handling may include various drive resets or even drive repower without
system loosing the device.
You may learn more about USB Stabilizer on its vendor's USB Stabilizer or our sites.
Installing USB Stabilizer:

It may take quite a long time to turn the drive on depending on the drive conditions. R-Studio will show the
DEEPSPAR: DEVICE IS BUSY line if there's not enough power for the hard drive to work. That may happen
when computer's USB port cannot deliver enough power and the external power supply is disconnected.
R-Studio can now process the USB Stabilizer drive as it's a common drive connected to a USB port.
You may read about USB Stabilizer parameters in its manual.
You may change other parameters for USB Stabilizer Pro through its Control Panel.

R-Studio Emergency
R-Studio Agent Emergency
5.1 IntelligentScan Technology
R-Studio uses a unique IntelligentScan technology when it tries to recover the data on the area being
scanned.
While scanning the selected area, R-Studio reads data directly from the drive, analyzes them, and tries to
determine a record to which the data belong. The following record types are possible:
· MBR/GPT records
· NTFS Boot Sector, Folder, and MFT records
· FAT/exFAT Boot Sector, folder, and file records
· ReFS Boot sector records and ReFS Meta blocks
· HFS/HFS+ Volume headers and BTree+ nodes
· APFS Super blocks, APFS Volume blocks, and APFS nodes
· Ext2/3/4FS SuperBlocks records
· UFS/FFS SuperBlock records
· Specific file signatures of Known File types for raw file carving
All these record types have different, but known, structure. Knowing valid values of record fields and relations
between them for each record type, R-Studio determines a record type for the data. If such record type cannot
be unambiguously determined, the data are assigned to the most probable record type. The same data can be
assigned to several record types, with a certain probability for each assignment. A list of possible files is
generated from these records.
R-Studio generates a record list for each record type. This list contains references to records assigned to a
record type from the list with their assignment probability. The same data can be included into different record
lists. Then R-Studio analyzes relations between elements in each list and between different lists, and generates a
list of found partitions with their parameters, such as partition start point and probable size, file system type,
cluster size, and existence probability.
Using the file list and partition list, R-Studio reconstructs file systems and files on the found partitions. One file
can be attributed to several different partitions.
When the entire drive or its part has been scanned, R-Studio shows all found partitions. Then the parameters of
the found partitions may be manually corrected, if additional information on them is available.
Using the IntelligentScan technology, R-Studio can recover files not only on new and existing partitions. It also
can find and recover data on partitions that have been deleted or reformatted. If, for example, there was an
NTFS partition, which later was reformatted as a FAT partition, R-Studio will show two partitions on the same
place on the drive, one having the FAT file system, the other the NTFS. Then, files found on those partitions can
be recovered.
The IntelligentScan technology makes R-Studio a very powerful data recovery tool, but it is not omnipotent.
As it uses probabilistic approach to data reconstruction, it cannot guarantee 100% correct results. Moreover,
even if R-Studio has reconstructed data structure correctly, it is impossible to guarantee that all found files will be
completely and correctly recovered, as new data may be already written over the old files. See the Data
Recovery Issues topic for details.
5.2 Data Recovery Issues
NEVER TRY TO SAVE RECOVERED FILES/? FOLDERS TO THE SAME LOGICAL DISK WHERE
THEY RESIDE!!!
Or you may obtain unpredictable results and lose all of your data.
R-Studio writes directly to a drive only when writing recovered data and from its hex editor, if writing is enabled.
In all other actions, R-Studio only reads data and analyzes them, and never modifies data on the drives being
analyzed.
Most operating systems use lazy-write. So, there is a time lag between file actions and actual changes on data on
a drive. R-Studio analyzes data on drives only. That is why it does not always detect recent changes in data
structure.
Most operating systems constantly write their service information on drives. Such writing is especially intensive
during startup and shutdown procedures. When an operating system deletes a file/?folder, it treats the space where
it has resided as empty and may write something in this place. If this happened, the file/?folder and its parameters
may be detected correctly, but its data may be lost.
Folder names like $$$Folder58448 on NTFS partitions mean that the folder has not been found on the drive but
some references to it have been. For example, folders My documents, Work, Photos have been found and all they
have one parent folder, whose description has not actually been found on the drive, so its name is unknown and
therefore represented as $$$Folder58448. It may happen that the description of such folders was outside of the
scan area, so try to enlarge the region or scan the entire drive. If that does not help, most likely that the
description of the folder has been overwritten.
Folder names like $ROOT58448 on FAT partitions mean that some folders have been found, but they cannot
be included into the folder structure for this FAT partition. Sometimes, such folders may contain other folder
structures.
If you recover a file, and it appears that the file contains wrong data, try to do the following:
· Scan:
the logical disk, if the file has been just deleted.
the drive, if the data structure is damaged more seriously.
· Search for the file to be restored on all found partitions and try to recover it from all found partitions.
Check each recovered file to ensure that it contains correct data. As soon as you found the partition from
which the file is recovered correctly, use this partitions to recover all other deleted files.
If there are several deleted files to be restored, you should use a file larger than 2KB to select the required
partition.
FAT file system:
Cross-Linked Folders
Often R-Studio finds several FAT folder records that contain the same data. Such folders are called cross-
linked. R-Studio marks such folders with an arrow mark:
R-Studio attributes the content of cross-linked folders to one folder called a target folder. When recovering,
R-Studio places the content to the target folder.
To view the list of cross-linked folders,
1 Right-click a cross-linked folder and select Cross Linked Folders on the shortcut menu
> A list of cross-linked folders will appear
You may go to any folder in this list by clicking it.
To find a target folder,
* Right-click a cross-linked folder and select Go Target on the shortcut menu, or
Select the cross-linked folder and select Goto Target on the File menu
If Go Target is gray, this folder is already the target folder.
To set the target folder manually,
* Right-click a cross-linked folder and select Set As Default Target on the shortcut menu, or
Select the cross-linked folder and select Set As Default Target on the File menu.
If Set As Default Target is gray, this folder is already the target folder.
Questionable Folders
Sometimes, R-Studio may find FAT records, which look like folders, but their content is invalid. For example,
file names have invalid characters, date, time, and size, or other file attributes may look strange. Please note that
R-Studio correctly recognizes localized names. R-Studio treats such records as folders, but does not analyze
their content and structure. You can manually scan such folders, but results may be unpredictable. Usually, such
scan reveals garbage.
R-Studio marks such folders with a question mark.
To re-scan an object,
* Right-click a questionable folder in the R-Studio's Folders panel and select Rescan on the shortcut
menu, or
Select the questionable folder and select Rescan on the File menu.
ReFS, NTFS, APFS, HFS, XFS, and ext fs file systems:
Symbolic links (symlinks)
Symbolic links (of symlinks for short) are object that contains references to other files or folders directory in the
form of absolute or relative paths and that affect pathname resolution. For example, if a symlink C:
\ProgramData\Documents points to D:\Recovered Files\Root\Users\Public\Documents, entering it
will result in entering D:\Recovered Files\Root\Users\Public\Documents.
They are present in almost all modern file systems. NTFS, HFS+, APFS, and EXT FS are probably the most
popular examples.
R-Studio shows such symlinks and their targets in the following way:
Only symlinks on the picture above are marked for recovery. They will be recovered as real files and folders.
Only targets (real folders) on the picture above are marked for recovery. They will be recovered as real files and
folders.
Both targets (real folders) and symlinks on the picture above are marked for recovery. They will be recovered
as real files and folders and symlinks.
The R-Studio Settings topic gives more details about symlink recovery.
Files:
Hard links
Hard links are file system entries that give file names to files. This term is usually used when files may have several
names. R-Studio shows hard links using the following icons:
A hard link:
The target file:
You may find a target or hard link for a file. Right-click the file and select Links on the shortcut menu.
5.3 Extended Information Recovery
R-Studio supports recovery of compressed files, alternative data streams, encrypted files, file security and
extended file attributes. If the R-Studio host OS and the file system of the disk you are going to save file to
support any particular extended information, it will be saved with the file, too. Otherwise, the extended
information will be saved as separate files with the same name as the restored file and extension showing the type
of the extended information. Below is a quick reference for the host OS and file system of the target drive.

5.5 Data Recovery on HFS/HFS+ File System
When deleting a file, Mac OS X deletes system BTree+ records describing the file. Therefore, it is hard to
recover such file directly. Those records may remain in:
1. The swap file (if the deleted file has been deleted recently).
2. In the journal (if the HFS+ journaling is on, and the deleted file has been CREATED recently)
Actually, if a file has been deleted, chances that the records would be found are small. To greatly increase the
chances to recover deleted files successfully , you may actively use scanning with enabled Known Files Types.
Note: All above is correct for intentionally deleted files. In case of a corrupted file system, HFS/HFS+ can be
recovered quite successfully.
When recovering files with HFS+-specific attributes (resource fork, finder info, etc.), R-Studio saves it in the so-
called AppleDouble format. When they are copied to an HFS+ disk under Mac OS X, those attributes will be
automatically restored.

listing and browse through found files. Then you can resume file listing. You also may
skip this file section and continue file listing. Example: -mem 400 - sets the limit to
400 MB.
-no_ide_ext Turns off the inquiry about extended information on HDDs in Wind9x/ME. This
switch may be helpful if R-Studio returns information about HDDs incorrectly
(detects HDD geometry incorrectly).
-no_int13 Turns off the disc access through Int13 in Wind9x/ME. This switch may be helpful if
the system operates incorrectly (detects HDD geometry incorrectly or lock the
system).
-no_ios Turns off the Wind9x/ME protected-mode I/O system. This switch may be helpful if
this system operates incorrectly (detects HDD geometry incorrectly or lock the
system).
-reset R-Studio resets an HDD controller each time it reads a bad sector. This switch may
be helpful if the controller locks after it attempts to read a bad sector, or returns
incorrect data.
-safe Disables automatic partition search on a drive, file system recognition on partitions,
and other potentially problematic operations. In this mode, it is necessary to use Find
partition command from the drive shortcut menu to manually find a partition.
If an unrecognized problem appears, start R-Studio with the -debug and -log <filename> switches, and
send the log and screenshot of the R-Studio main panel to the R-Studio technical support:

5.Compound volume properties
A compound volume is a union of several partitions or other drive objects. Each union type has its own rules,
unique for each compound volume type. Among compound volumes are: Volume Sets (RAIDs Level 0),
Mirrors (RAIDs Level 1), RAIDs4/5/6 (RAIDs Level 4/5/6), both physical and created by the user (Virtual
Volume Sets, Virtual Stripe Sets, Virtual Mirrors, Virtual RAID5).
More information...
Main properties of compound volumes are parents (drive objects from which a compound volume is
created) and their order. These properties may be viewed in the Parents tab. For user-created compound
volumes these properties may be altered.
Raid Block Size Data block size for compound volumes of RAID (Level 0-5) types
6.LDM disks and volumes (Dynamic Disks)
LDM disks and volumes are volumes controlled by Logical Disk Manager (LDM). They are represented on a
drive as a LDM database rather than partition tables. Under Windows ?2000/?XP/?2003/?Vista/?2008/?7/?8/8.1/?10,
LDM disks are also called Dynamic Disks.
More information...
Offset of Logical Initial offset of a logical disk on a drive. For disks, initially formatted by LDM, this
Disk value is often 31.5KB, for converted disks, it may be larger.
Supposed Parents Supposed number of parent partitions for compound LDM volumes. If the LDM
Count database is not damaged, the value of this property must be equal to the number of
parent objects in the Parents tab for the drive object.
LDM Host GUID Global Unique Identifier of a computer system where this LDM disk group has been
created.
LDM DiskGroup GUID Global Unique Identifier of the LDM disk group.
LDM Disk GUID Global Unique Identifier of the drive.
LDM Volume GUID Global Unique Identifier of the volume.
LDM Disk ID Local drive Identifier, unique within this LDM disk group.
LDM Partition ID Local partition Identifier, unique within this LDM disk group.

either a letter (C:, D:, etc.), or a mount point under Windows ?2000/?XP/?2003/?Vista/?
2008/?7/?8/8.1/?10.
7.File System Volume properties
A File System (FS) volume is a disk object where a certain, supported by R-Studio, file system is present.
There are two FS volume types: FS volume on a regular drive object and a recognized volume, found by a
scan process. FS volume properties depend on volume's file system and type.
Active FAT copy Active FAT table number for the FAT volume. Can be set to Disabled, Auto, 1, or 2. If
it is Disabled, R-Studio processes the volume as there is no FAT table present. This
may be useful if the volume has been reformatted and thus a new FAT table is created
and the old one is deleted. In this case, it is reasonable to recover files from the
previous volume without processing the new and irrelevant FAT table. All files will be
recovered as continuous byte chains beginning from their start cluster. Unfragmented
files will be recovered successfully. If it is 1 or 2, R-Studio uses the first or second
FAT table copy, respectively. If it is Auto, R-Studio uses both FAT table copies and
decides, which FAT table copy should be used for a particular FAT table sector. This
may be useful when both FAT tables are partially damaged.
Major version FAT version.
Minor version FAT minor version.
Volume size Size of the volume.
7.3.Ext2/3/4FS Volume properties
These properties are present for all Ext2/3/4FS volumes and represent their main properties. For recognized
volumes, these values can be altered.
More information...
Ext2FS InformationRegular volumes
Recognized Ext2FS Recognized volumes
Block Size Block size of Ext2FS file system. A block in the Ext2/3/4FS file system is similar to a
cluster in the FAT file system.
First SuperBlock Offset of the first SuperBlock from the start of the Ext2/3/4FS volume.
Offset
Blocks Per Volume Number of blocks in the Ext2/3/4FS volume.
INodes Per Volume Number of inodes on the Ext2/3/4FS volume. An inode is a record describing file's
size, attributes, position on an Ext2F/3/4S volume - all information about a file, except
its name, which is stored separately. Therefore, the INodes Per Volume parameter is
equal to the maximum number of files on an Ext2/3/4FS volume.
Creator OS The OS that created this Ext2/3/4FS volume. May be Linux, Hurd, Masix, FreeBSD,
Lites.
Major version Ext2/3/4FS version. Usually 1.
Minor version Ext2/3/4FS minor version. Usually 0.
Last Mount Time Last mount time for this Ext2/3/4FS volume.
Last Write Time Last write time for this Ext2/3/4FS volume.
Last Check Time Last check time for this Ext2/3/4FS volume.
Volume size Size of the volume.
7.4.Recognized Volume properties
These properties are present for all recognized volumes, regardless of their file system type. They estimate
how reliable those volumes are recognized. This is useful for fast search for, and selection of, optimally
recognized volume to recover.
More information...
Parsed File Entries Number of files proving that this recognized volume existed. May have any non-
negative values. The main property characterizing the reliability of volume recognition.
The larger it, the higher probability that this recognized volume has file system
properties that have been correctly found.
Parsed Boot Number of boot records proving that this recognized volume existed. May be 0 or 1.
Records This is the second important property characterizing the reliability of volume
recognition.
Estimated Size Estimated size of the recognized FS partition/volume. This property shows the most
probable size of the recognized FS partition/volume. Alternatively, Size and Partition
Size are set to the highest possible values in order to recover the maximum number of
files.

6.3.1 Starting a Computer with the R-Studio Emergency Startup Disks
We recommended that you print out this help page and have the hardcopy on hand while you are
performing this action.
If there is a non-IDE disk controller in your system, or you plan to use network disks or external hardware
devices, first check the Hardware Compatibility List.
If you plan to use any external device, turn it on before starting the system.
If the motherboard in your computer supports the Serial ATA (SATA) devices, but IDE disks are also present,
only the SATA devices should be set to the Enhanced Mode in BIOS.
To start the computer with the R-Studio Emergency startup CD/DVD disc or any removable
device,
1 Make sure that the first startup device in the system BIOS is the CD/DVD drive or the removable device
Disable "Secure boot" in the system BIOS if your computer is certified to run Windows 8. Refer to your
system documentation for details.
2 Insert the R-Studio Emergency startup CD/DVD disc and start your computer
If you have a Mac computer
To start a Mac computer with the R-Studio Emergency startup disk,
1. Insert a CD/DVD disc or connect a USB disk
2. Switch the Mac on.
3. While loading, press the Option key on the Mac keyboard (the Alt key if you use a non-Apple keyboard).
The Options key
Select the R-Studio Emergency GUI (Graphic Mode) to run R-Studio Emergency in the graphic mode

mode, restart the system in the Safe VGA mode (only VESA-compliant) which is compatible with most
video cards and monitors. If it fails too, select the Text mode in which the R-Studio Emergency user
interface is shown in the pseudo-graphic mode compatible with all video cards. The help describes this
pseudo-graphic mode.
> R-Studio Emergency will start and its Device/Disk panel will appear
To start the computer with the R-Studio Emergency startup floppy disks,
1 Make sure that the first startup device in the system BIOS is A (Floppy)
Refer to your system documentation for details.
2 Insert the first startup floppy disk and start your computer
> The following text will appear on the screen:
Loading

VFS: Insert the second boot disk and press ENTER
3 Insert the second disk and press ENTER.
> R-Studio Emergency will start and its Device/Disk panel will appear
Secure boot:
It may be impossible to start a Windows 8 certified computer with the R-Studio Emergency startup disk without
some additional actions. This happens because any computer should use a so-called "Secure boot" procedure to
comply with Windows 8 hardware certification from Microsoft. In brief, this procedure prevents computer from
booting into any operating system that isn't digitally signed with an appropriate digital signature. "Secure boot" is
claimed to prevent unauthorized modification of the boot sector by bootkits, viruses, trojans, and other malicious
software. To the date, only Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, and selected Linux distributions support this
feature. As a side effect, it also prevents most LiveCDs, rescue disks (R-Studio and R-Drive Image included),
and other OS from running.
Likely enough, the other requirement of Windows 8 hardware certification is to make it possible for the user to
disable the Secure boot procedure. Those settings can be done through the system BIOS under the Boot
options. Generally, it's enough to enable Legacy support in those options, but sometimes it may require additional
actions. Please, refer to your system documentation to learn more about disabling/enabling Secure boot.
When Secure boot is disabled, it should be possible to start the computer with the R-Studio Emergency startup
disk.
Please note that you should enable this feature back after using the startup disks because Windows 8 or Server
2012 may not start properly without the Secure boot feature enabled.
To recover files,
1 Select a partition on the Device/Disk panel on which the files to recover reside and press the Enter key

Secure boot:
It may be impossible to start a Windows 8 certified computer with the R-Studio Agent Emergency startup disk
without some additional actions. This happens because any computer should use a so-called "Secure boot"
procedure to comply with Windows 8 hardware certification from Microsoft. In brief, this procedure prevents
computer from booting into any operating system that isn't digitally signed with an appropriate digital signature.
"Secure boot" is claimed to prevent unauthorized modification of the boot sector by bootkits, viruses, trojans,
and other malicious software. To the date, only Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, and selected Linux
distributions support this feature. As a side effect, it also prevents most LiveCDs, rescue disks (R-Studio and R-
Drive Image included), and other OS from running.
Likely enough, the other requirement of Windows 8 hardware certification is to make it possible for the user to
disable the Secure boot procedure. Those settings can be done through the system BIOS under the Boot
options. Generally, it's enough to enable Legacy support in those options, but sometimes it may require additional
actions. Please, refer to your system documentation to learn more about disabling/enabling Secure boot.
When Secure boot is disabled, it should be possible to start the computer with the R-Studio Agent Emergency
startup disk.
Please note that you should enable this feature back after using the startup disks because Windows 8 or Server
2012 may not start properly without the Secure boot feature enabled.
