4.4.4.1. Opening a Third Party Disk Image

If you have created a Raw Disk Image using tools other than Active@ UNERASER, you still can access and recover data from it by composing disk image from chunks.

To open a Disk Image from chunks (without configuration file):

1. Start Active@ UNERASER
2. Press [F9] > Image > Run Compose Image
   
   The Compose Image dialog box appears.
   
   Figure 4-12 Compose Image Dialog Box
   
   
   
3. In this dialog box, build a Disk Image by adding one or more chunks of the image. Press Add. A File Open dialog box appears.
4. Select files and press Ok. They appear in the list under Chunks:.
5. Specify image parameters in the Compose Image dialog box. A description of the parameters follows:
   

1. Image Type - Specify whether the image was created for a logical drive or a physical device.
2. Name - Image name as it will be displayed in the device tree.
3. Geometry - Device geometry (if you know it). You can leave default values here, it will work, but performance of the utility will be a bit slow.
   Press Ok when all parameters are complete.

6. After refreshing the devices list, the new Disk Image appears in the tree.
   Work with this image the same way as with any regular device or drive. Scan it for partitions and files, find and restore files from it.
