5.5. Recovering Data from Physical Disks

Sometimes you can't recover your data by using the quick scan, or deep scan, and can't find drive options because of severe corruption or partition damage in the physical/removable disk. In this scenario, Stellar Data Recovery allows you to recover your data by using the Physical Disks option. This option supports both internal and external hard drives. Physical Disks works on Raw Recovery to retrieve your highly corrupted data and has a better chance of recovery. 

Steps To Scan Physical Disk:

1. Run Stellar Data Recovery.

2. From Select What to Recover screen, select the type of data i.e. Everything, Documents, Folders & Emails, or Multimedia Files, you want to recover.

3. Click Next.

4. From Recover From screen, select the disk you want to recover from Physical Disks.

5. Click Scan. A screen showing the scanning process is displayed. 

Note: You can click Stop at any point to stop the scanning process.

6. Once the scanning process is completed, details of the files and folder found are displayed in a dialog box as shown below:
