Partition recovery

Summary

It is by far the longest of ZAR tutorial series with its outrageous ten steps and fourteen (14) mouse clicks.

Note: The older than current versions of ZAR might have been used to create the screenshots in this tutorial. We did not update the screenshots if there is no significant difference between older and current versions. If you see some option in the program which is not described in the tutorial, just leave it at its default setting.
