Image or Copy? Recognized or Region?
Posted: Tue May 17, 2011 6:40 pm
Background for my questions:
I bought my copy of R-Studio after Partition Magic 8 botched an attempt to merge 2 [40 & 250 GB] partitions on a 320 GB drive. My major concern is the larger partition, that contains a collection of data going back 15 years. Scanning the 4 objects remaining on the drive after the disaster produced some Recognized objects and some Extra Found Files, so it looks like there is a good chance of being able to recover most of the data.
Since the disaster, I have obtained another drive that is 3X the size of all of the objects I want to recover. My inent here is to put the recoverable objects on the new drive, and recover the data from there. My questions, which came to mind after creating a Region in one of the scanned areas, are in regard to my best approach. So here we go.
Should I make an image of the recovery objects, or should I make a copy? Is there a difference? Should recoverable objects on the new drive be Recognized and Extra Found Files, or would Regions be better? What are the differences in terms of chances for success? Can I put the recoverable objects in a folder on the new drive, or do they have to be attached to the root?
Thanks in advance for the help.
