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.

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.

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).
