LOWIO_MAIN_CANLOAD

 ^What is this?^

  You are asked to select a physical disk ZAR should work with from the list
  of all compatible disks detected in a system.

 ^What should I do?^

  Select  a physical disk from list. Disks are usually listed in a following
  order: Primary Master first, then Primary Slave, then Secondary Master and
  Slave. Disk size also gives you a hint about which drive is where.

  You can also load an image file instead of using a physical disk. For more
  information about image files, please refer to manual.

  If  you  want  to restart a previous recovery run using a ^save file^, you
  must now indicate your intent to do it. The save file is associated with a
  physical  disk,  so  you  must  then select a disk (or load an appropriate
  image) After choosing a physical disk (or image) you will be asked about a
  save file name.

MBR_VOLLIST_BAD

 ^What is this?^

  You  are  asked  to select a volume (logical disk) to analyse from list of
  available volumes, which is based on a partition table (on disk).

  ^However,  the partition table is probably damaged^ and the list shown may
  be inaccurate (e.g. some volumes may be missing).

 ^What should I do?^

  If the volume you want to analyse is listed properly, just select it.

  If this volume is missing, you should enter its parameters manually. To do
  this,   choose   "I  want  to  enter  volume  start  offset  and  size  in
  megabytes".  When  prompted  for  a start offset, enter a sum of sizes (in
  megabytes)  for all volumes before the one you need. Then, enter a size of
  a volume, when prompted.

  ^WARNING:^ There are some caveats here. Refer to manual for details.

EOT

SOT
MBR_VOLLIST

 ^What is this?^

  You  are  asked  to select a volume (logical disk) to analyse from list of
  available volumes, which is based on a partition table (on disk).

  The  partition table seems to be correct and the list shown is expected to
  be accurate.

 ^What should I do?^

  If the volume you want to analyse is listed properly, just select it.

  If  this  volume is missing, you should enter its parameters manually. For
  more information about how to do it, please refer to manual.

EOT

SOT
MBR_VOLLIST_VERYBAD

 ^What is this?^

  You  are  asked  to  select an area to scan for data. The partition layout
  (information  about  logical  disks  on a physical disk) is stored on disk
  in  a  special sector (called Master Boot Record) but it is damaged beyond
  all recognition.

 ^What should I do?^

  If  the  disk  was  partitioned as a single large logical drive, select "I
  want to scan the entire disk" from list.

  Alternatively,  you  can  manually  specify  the area to scan. To do this,
  choose  "I  want to enter volume start offset and size in megabytes". When
  prompted  for  a start offset, enter a sum of sizes (in megabytes) for all
  volumes  before  the  one  you  need. Then, enter a size of a volume, when
  prompted.

  ^WARNING:^ There are some caveats here. Refer to manual for details.

EOT

SOT
MBR_AREA_OFFTAIL

 ^What the problem is?^

  The  area  you  asked  ZAR  to search in is invalid. You requested to scan
  somewhere outside a physical disk. This can be illustrated as follows:

  Physical disk :     |------------------------|
  You requested :                   |-----------------|
                                                ^^^^^^^
                                  It is impossible to scan this region.

  Proposed correction :             |----------|

 ^What should I do?^

  You can press "N" to re-enter the values, or "Y" to accept correction
  proposed.

EOT

SOT
CFSS_ACCEPT_AUTO

 ^What is this?^

  CF stands for Cluster Factor - number of sectors per cluster.
  This is a one of the four significant volume parameters.

 ^What should I do?^

  If  this  is a first time you are attempting a recovery, answer "Y" to use
  default value - the autodetection routine works fine in most cases.

  If  you  have  already  tried the recovery and it didn't work, answer "N",
  then  enter  "1",  "512"  as  minimum  and maximum values to have ZAR scan
  through all possible values (this can take a long time).

EOT

SOT
CFSS_CFSS_LIST

 ^What is this?^

  CF stands for Cluster Factor - number of sectors per cluster.
  SS stands for Start Sector - sector number for cluster 0.
  These are two of the four significant volume parameters. CF/SS pair
  controls how cluster-to-sector translations are performed.

  ZAR  uses  statistical algorithms to determine CF/SS. Basically, relevance
  is  computed for each possible CF/SS pair and the most relevant values are
  shown.

 ^What should I select from the list?^

  Select the topmost choice to accept a default (most relevant) value.

  If ZAR fails to detect volume parameters (only "Enter parameters manually"
  is shown), then you should probably contact a data recovery expert because
  the  damage  is  too  heavy  to  be  handled  automatically  (be  sure  to
  double-check that you are doing everyting correctly before doing so).

EOT

SOT
CHARSET_LOAD_FAIL

 ^What the problem is?^

  CHARSET.DAT  is  a file which specifies a set of a characters allowed in a
  file or directory names. This file was not found. ^It can be critical.^

 ^What can happen?^

  ZAR's  ability  to  recover files and directories with a language-specific
  (German or Russian for example) symbols in their names will be impaired.
  1. Directory names will be ignored (replaced with DIRnnnn)
  2. Files with such a names ^will be lost^ (although they are recoverable).

 ^What should I do?^

  The  above  does  not  apply to English-only systems. If you have no files
  with non-English names, you can continue normally.
  For  any other (non-English) system, you should setup a CHARSET.DAT. Press
  Ctrl+Break now and refer to manual about character set setup.

EOT

SOT
FAT_TYPE_PROMPT

 ^What is this?^

  ZAR  asks  about  a  filesystem  type. Knowning it beforehand speeds up an
  analysis  and allows autodetection routine to discard known-wrong variants
  as early as possible.

 ^What should I do?^

  If you are ansolutely sure about a filesystem type, specify it now.

  However,  if  you  do not know which filesystem was used, you can have ZAR
  detect FAT type itself - the autodetection works fine in most cases.

  If  you  are  not  sure,  use autodetection. A wrong decision made at this
  point  will  lead  to  inability to use FAT information even if available,
  resulting in dramatic quality decrease.

EOT

SOT
FAT_FAT_LIST

 ^What is this?^

  ZAR  asks  you  to enter File Allocation Table (FAT) parameters: FAT start
  sector  and  FAT  size.  These  are  two  of  the  four significant volume
  parameters.

 ^What should I do?^

  If  there  are some autodetected values listed, you should select first of
  them (the most relevant), unless you know it to be wrong.

  If  ZAR  didn't  find  anything looking like FAT, you can either enter the
  parameters manually (if you know them) or choose to continue without using
  FAT  information.  However,  when  both FATs are lost, no fragmented files
  will be recovered correctly.

EOT

SOT
IDENT_FILETYPES

 ^What is this?^

  ZAR  knows  some  types  of  files  (and directories). The damaged disk is
  scanned for these files and scan results are used later in analysis.

  You  will still be able to recover files of any type after the analysis is
  completed. This selection is used only when determining disk parameters.

 ^What should I do?^

  It is recommended that you leave the default setting (include all types).

  You  might  want to disable EXE, BMP, GIF and WAV files, if you run out of
  memory.  However,  this  can  impact  the  analysis  result, in worst case
  leading   to   inability   to   detect   significant   volume   parameters
  automatically.

EOT

SOT
OPTIONS_PROMPT

 ^If you run out of memory^

  Set "Ignore case in long file names" to "Yes".

  If  the  above  does  not help, set "Recover long filenames" to "No". This
  will give you much more memory, but no long names will be recovered.

EOT

SOT
SAVELOAD_WRONG_FILE

 ^What the problem is?^

  The save file can be used only when applied to the disk it was created on.
  Disk  size  is stored in a save file when it is created. You are trying to
  load a file, but it does not match the selected physical disk, because the
  save file was recorded on a disk with diffrent size.

  You  can  still force ZAR to continue using this (wrong) file, but it will
  ^probably lead to a recovery failure^.

 ^What should I do?^

  Answer "N" now, then load the correct file.

EOT

SOT
SIMPLE_PROMPT

 ^What is Simple Mode?^

  Simple  mode  automates  a process of data recovery. All decisions will be
  made  automatically,  so  you  do  not have to mess with terms specific to
  data  recovery.  However,  you  cannot  modify any recovery options with a
  Simple Mode.

 ^What are limitations of the simple mode, if any?^

  Files  greater than ^500 Mb^ will not be recovered (the default setting, and
  you will not be given a chance to alter it).

  Simple mode is not applicable for Windows NT/2000/XP mirrored FAT volumes.

EOT

SOT
MAIN_CFSS_METHOD

 ^What is this?^

  ZAR is about to start determining two significant volume parameters:
  CF (stands for Cluster Factor - number of sectors per cluster) and
  SS (stands for Start Sector - sector number for cluster 0). These parameters
  control how cluster-to-sector translations are performed. Failure to detect
  them correctly will ultimately lead to a recovery failure.

 ^What should I do?^

  Select a recommended method ("Reduced dataset brute-force") unless you are
  recovering a Windows NT/2000/XP mirrored FAT volume. Execution time is
  measured in seconds or minutes for this method.

  If you are recovering a Windows NT/2000/XP mirrored FAT volume, you ^must^ use
  "Complete dataset brute-force", although its execution can take hours.

  Manual input is recommended only if the parameters are known (for example,
  from a ZARPARTN output) and you want to avoid running complete brute-force.

EOT

SOT
PARTN_OPTIONS

 ^What is this?^

 You are asked to configure ZARPARTN behavior.
 Mode option can be "Fast" or "Full". "Fast" mode is about 30 times faster than
 "Full", but some objects cannot be found with "Fast" mode (namely, FAT32 backup
 boot sectors and Windows SUHDLOG.DAT file).

 If "Save copies of sectors" option is set to "Yes", each sector containing
 partition or boot information will be saved to a separate file.

 ^What should I do?^

 "Fast" mode is recommended for a first run when damage is known to be minor.
 "Full" mode should be used in cases where first run failed (did not reveal
  enough information) or when the disk is known to be severily damaged.

 It is generally recommeded that you enable "Save copies of sectors" option.

EOT

SOT
PARTN_OPTIONS_NOFAST

 ^What is this?^

 You are asked to configure ZARPARTN behavior. Please note that
 ^Fast^ operation mode is not available for disk images.

 If "Save copies of sectors" option is set to "Yes", each sector containing
 partition or boot information will be saved to a separate file.

 ^What should I do?^

  Normally you should just leave default values and ^Proceed^.

EOT

SOT
BBT_SELECT_FLOP

 ^What is this?^

  ZAR Boot-Based Tools (BBT) work independently of the operating system, and
  they are loaded directly from the boot sector of a floppy disk.
  You are now asked to select a floppy drive to write a tool to. Later you will
  be asked to select a particular tool from list.

 ^What should I do?^

  Insert a blank formatted floppy disk into the drive, then select that drive
  from list.

EOT

SOT
BBT_SELECT_TOOL

 You are asked to select a tool to write to a floppy disk.

 Select the appropriate tool from list, then press <Enter>.

EOT

SOT
BBT_FLOP_BAD

 ^What is this?^

  Target floppy must be formatted and empty, but the one you provided is not.
  Write-protection tab on it must be set to allow writes to disk.

 ^What should I do?^

 1. Check the floppy is formatted.
 2. Check that write-protection tab is set properly.
 3. Check that there is no files on the floppy (including hidden and system).

EOT

SOT
NTFS_SELECT_SPFRS

 ^What is this?^

  FRS  ("File  Record Segment"), is an entry in the volume Master File Table
  (MFT),  which  describes a file or directory. One FRS is recorded into MFT
  for  each  file. All MFT records on volume have the same FRS size. ZARNTFS
  shows  the  table  listing  all  possible  FRS  sizes,  along  with  their
  "Relevance".  In  this  case "Relevance" is simply a percentage of records
  having this FRS size.

 ^What should I do?^

  You  should  choose  the  most  relevant  value  from  list (it is already
  highlighted as default choice, and you only need to press Enter).
