warning message panel

Thread needs solution

Hi:

When checking my rescue media, I get the warning message panel about erasing data on the partition. If I select "OK", will it erase the data or is there another step that follows?

Steven, if you are looking at doing any recovery or restore type operation using the rescue media, then this is a destructive process and will result in the wiping of the target drive or partition when restoring a disk or partitions backup image.

I understand. I wanted to test the rescue media to make sure it worked. I was hoping i could get to the operation summary screen to review it but didn't want to continue beyond that. I will just leave it alone. Thanks

Steven, you should be able to go as far as either confirming that data will be erased or where you would click on proceed to start that process.

See forum topic: [How to] recover an entire disk backup which may help show you all the panels that will be seen when using the rescue media to recover a disk drive.

Great. Thanks!
