In this project, you learn how to restore an image file to a drive. Subsequent projects in this book require using these steps. To prepare for this project, you need the following items:

 

• A USB or FireWire drive that can hold up to 100 MB or a secondary internally connected drive

• ProDiscover Basic installed on your workstation

• The GCFI-datacarve-FAT.eve data file extracted from Chap04\Projects on the book’s DVD The first task is to transfer data from the GCFI-datacarve-FAT.eve file to the target drive. Follow these steps:

1. Boot your acquisition workstation.

2. Connect a hot-swappable media storage device to receive the data, such as a 100+ MB USB drive, a FireWire drive, or an internally connected drive. This device is referred to as the target drive.

3. Start ProDiscover Basic, and in the main window, click Tools, Copy Disk from the menu.

4. In the Copy source disk or image to destination disk dialog box, click the Image to Disk tab.

5. Click Browse next to the Image File text box, and navigate to the location where you copied this chapter’s data files (Work\Chap04\Projects). Click the GCFI-datacarve- FAT.eve file, and then click Open.

6. In the Copy source disk or image to destination disk dialog box, click in the space under the Disk Name column at the bottom, as shown in Figure 4-15.

7. Click the Disk Name list arrow, click the target drive, and then click OK.

8. In the Copy dialog box that opens, click the Write All 0’s option button (see Figure 4-16), and then click OK to start the data loading.

9. Click OK in the completion dialog box to terminate the loading.

10. Exit ProDiscover Basic, shut down your acquisition workstation, and remove the target drive.
