Sector Map Files

Sector map files are files that contain information about conditions of drive sectors, which may be good, bad, slow, and unstable. R-Studio estimates chances for successful file recovery basing on these files and avoiding unnecessary attempts to read bad sectors. Sector map files are crucial for multi-pass imaging .

R-Studio creates its own sector map files or can import such files created from other disk imaging programs. Currently R-Studio supports sector map files from HDDSuperClone and DDRescue .

To open, save or clean a sector map file for an object,

*	Control-click the object and select Open Sector Map, Save Sector Map, or Clean Sector Map, respectively, on the contextual menu.
