For projects with logical problems one of the first steps we take is to make an image of the media. Working with the image as opposed to the original drive ensures the data source remains intact. One of the useful tools included with CBL’s Pro-V data recovery software is the ability to create an image of your problem hard drive.

At step 1, select the drive you wish to make an image of. Be sure that you have available free space to create the image. Under the Tools menu select, Create an image file. Enter in the location of where you would like the image file to be saved. Alternatively you can browse the destination drive by clicking on the “...” on the right. When you are ready click on start and Pro-V will create an image of the selected drive.

Once the process is completed you can load your image file and perform a scan by selecting the file under the “Logical drives” section in step 1. That’s it! You’re one step closer to recovering data like a professional. For more questions about CBL’s Pro-V data recovery software, consult the help documentation.
