You may find detailed instructions in the help (online, or that comes with R-Studio).
For example, you can start from this one:
Data Recovery Using R-Studio. From that page, you need to understand, which type of file recovery you need to perform. If your OS sees that problematic disk as a valid logical disk, you'll have to proceed further with the
Basic File Recovery. If not, you'll have to
scan the hard drive, then determine which recognized partition on it is correct, and then recover files from that partition using the Basic File Recovery.
Answers to your questions:
1. Not if you save scan info during disk scanning. Select Save to file on the
Scan dialog box and specify the location for the scan info file. You may load scan info each time you continue working with that disk. I recommend you to scan the first 2 GB of the disk and see the results. Such scan would reveal the file/folder structure of the disk, if it doesn't corrupt severely. If it appears not enough, and you need to scan for known file types, you may continue scanning, using the Advanced dialog box.
2. Just mark the required files, click the Recover Marked button, and select the required place (Output folder) on the Recover dialog box.
3. If the file/folder structure on the disk is not damaged severely, you'll find the files on their right folders. You may select those folders and recover them (and their content) to the new disk preserving their names. If the file/folder structure is damaged severely, files and folders may be not found at all.
4. Yes, if the disk doesn't experience hardware problems. Still, I myself wouldn't store important files on that disk, once it failed.
And please, understand one thing - it's hard to be more precise without seeing the filed disk and actual data on it.
