2.1.2 Working with Physical Devices
Work with the physical device when you have deleted a partition (a logical drive), or if you have deleted a partition and then re-created it using a different drive size or a different offset. In either case, if a partition does not appear in the Logical Drives option, scanning the physical device is the only way to find the partition.
To work with a physical device, at the bottom of the workspace select Physical Devices. All physical devices appear in the Physical list, showing the device name, size and the drive letter for each detected logical drive.
You must select a device from the list.
This view is a console from which you may use features to help you choose the correct device:
- To look for and scan all physical devices again, click Refresh.
- If you plug in a new drive into a USB port, the list of physical devices is refreshed automatically.
- To see more details, click Advanced View.
- To set Step 1 options, click Options.
