Navigation

There are several different ways to navigate through your drive.

• Scroll bar: Use the vertical scroll bar to scroll through your drive. A small window attached to the cursor will show you at which sector you currently are.
• Mouse scrolling: With the left mouse button click on a data area in the main window, and scroll up or down by moving the cursor out of the data area. The scrolling speed will increase the further you move the mouse up or down. 
• Jumping: In order to jump to the next or previous page or to the beginning or end of your drive, use the arrows in the top tool bar or click Goto->Start or Goto->End in the main menu.
• Goto sector: If you need to find a certain sector or byte on your drive, click Goto->Sector in the main menu. There you have the option to specify either the sector or the byte in hexadecimal or decimal format. Press OK and the cursor will jump to the selected sector.
• Goto cluster: If you need to find a certain cluster on your drive, click Goto->Cluster in the main menu. There you have the option to specify the cluster in hexadecimal or decimal format. Press OK and the cursor will jump to the selected cluster.
• Goto: To go directly to the partition table, the boot record, the MFT, a certain MFT No. or the root directory of a drive click Goto in the main menu, then choose the desired destination.
  Note:  The destination' s boot record, MFT, MFT No. and root directory are grayed until you have mounted a volume.
• Links: The Default Link property sets the next useful step while navigating through the drive. For example, the next useful area the cursor can jump to after the partition table area is the boot record. When you click on the small arrow beneath the default link icon, the next possible areas will be shown. Select one and the cursor will jump to this area, or just click the icon and the first choice on the list will be shown on the main screen.
  Navigating with the links is the most efficient way of moving through the drive.
• Hotlinks: These are links similar to hyperlinks in html. They are blue-colored and allow context-sensitive jumping.

Path bar

Every step you take (e.g. switch from partition table to boot record, from boot record to root directory and back to partition table) will be visualized in the Path bar at the bottom of the screen. It works like a web browser, you can use the back and forth
arrows beneath the default link icon to switch between your selections.

History List

Click on the small arrow between the back and forth arrows and a history list will pop up.  

Remember

Whenever you want your current position  to be included in the history list and the path bar, just press the Remember icon or click Link->Remember.
