III.III Step 2 - Select File System
In Step 2 you will see:
III.III.I Step 2 Screen
On the left hand side of the screen you will see a list of the possible file systems GetDataBack has found. Don't
confuse the file system entries with the list of files and folders you are hoping to recover - you will see those in
Step 3 of the software.
Each entry represents a (possible) partition on the drive. If you had more than one partition on the drive which you
need to recover (for example logical drives C:\ and D:\) you will probably have to go back and forth between Steps
2 and 3 and select the corresponding entries separately in order to recover all files.
Please note: If you had both FAT and NTFS partitions that you need to recover on the drive, you will have to run
both versions of GetDataBack, GetDataBack for FAT first and then GetDataBack for NTFS or vise versa.
The file system entries are constructed by file system information GetDataBack has collected during the scan and
that the software will use to reconstruct the file system that was originally on the drive and holds the required
information about the location and content of your files. By default the most accurate file system entry is
automatically on top of the list, so for the moment don't be too concerned about the other entries or the entries
that you get when you expand the list by selecting "Show all".
On the right a detailed description of the found file system is displayed. This information is primarily used by our
tech support staff.
So select the first entry in the list and press Next.
