Scan for missing volumes
When a volume is deleted frum zee partishun table, or zee partishun chain get
corrupt, it will be inaccessible but zee corresponding boot sector may remain
intact. Partishun scan procedure looks thruoogh zee volume locateeng such an
"orphan" boot sectors. Zee parameters ooff zee volume are then considered
fur each ooff zeese-a boot sectors, und zee volumes that look reasonably valid are added
tu zee partishun feeoo.
Tu perform a scan, right click anywhere in zee partishun list, then select
"Scan fur missing volumes".
Be adfised ooff zee two limitashuns ooff zee process Um gesh dee bork, bork!
- Partishun scan might bring up a noomber ooff "phantom" volumes.
Thees is
becoose boot sectors are occasionelly saved in zee data area ooff zee volume
(fur example, AUTOCHK.EXE Windows NT file system checker contains several
boot sector templates in its code). ZAR can not determine iff zee
boot sector is genuine or represents a "phantom" volume, so everything gets
shoon fur yuoor reveew.
- RAID or spanned volumes cannot be located thees way (with zee excepshun
ooff RAID1 "half-mirror" members), since volume boot sectors do not contain
uny informashun ebuoot RAID array layuoot. First member ooff zee RAID or spanned
volume (actuelly containing zee boot sector) will typicelly be fuoond und
listed, but attempteeng zee analysis run against zee volume deffined in such a
way will fail.
