Angry ZAR Crashed

I was conducting a general data recovery, after 18 hours of scanning, I selected the files I wished to recover, but before I selected save, I had an error message regarding a critical error and that the program I was using had to close. Is there anyway to return to the point where I can select the files without scanning the entire 80Gb hard drive again? In any case, when I attempted to restart the program, it told me the drive now had 0 bytes on it, where before it was 76,000,000 or something close to 80Gb, what's going on?

While I can see the disk in the device manager, (it's in an enclosure on my desk) windows won't assign a drive letter to it.

I'm using the free version.

Default Re: ZAR Crashed

The suspicious bit is that it now shows zero capacity. This indicates the drive/enclosure does not report proper capacity to the system.
To confirm this, check drive size with Disk Management.

Until this issue is somehow resolved, there is no way ZAR will work. If the drive reports zero capacity, no software can operate on it (since the device driver will block access past the reported size of the device).

As always with the encolsures (I guess USB-to-IDE), I suggest that you remove drive from the enclosure and attach it directly to the motherboard IDE port. This will eliminate possible failure of the enclosure.
