Acronis Recovery Expert - Manual (Page 16)

The Free Space Selection window of Acronis RecoveryExpert shows the
partition structure and unallocated disk space. As explained above, existed
but deleted partitions may be found on unallocated space only.
After deleting a partition, its space becomes unallocated. Thus in the manual
recovery mode you must mark the unallocated area that might contain a
deleted partition.
This window enables you to simultaneously select multiple unallocated
spaces for recovery.
Unallocated space, selected for partition recovery
The next Searching Method window enables you to select one of two deleted
partition searching methods:
• Fast,
• Complete.
Their difference is as follows. Using the Fast search method, Acronis
RecoveryExpert checks the beginning of each side of every cylinder of a hard
disk. Using the Complete method, Acronis RecoveryExpert checks every hard
disk sector.
