External harddrive Recovery (mac)

#1 Post by alfredoes »

Hi guys,

I'm so happy I came across this software. Now my question is how do I choose to save my files in a different hard drive besides that one I'm trying to recover?
I see my files but I cant save them on the external drive itself since that is the drive I'm trying to recover. My questions is how do I chose my other external drive in which I want to save my corrupted drive? I've tried pressing s for search but I don't know the command

your time would be much appreciate,

To choose the directory where the recovered files should be written, use the arrow keys (up, down, left, right) to navigate. You can also use the enter key to enter into a directory.
* Dos/Windows/Os2: To get the drive list (C:, D:, E:, etc.), use the arrow keys to select ``..``, press the ``Enter`` key - repeat until you can select the drive of your choice. Validate with ``Y`` es when you get the expected destination.
* Linux: File system from external disk may be available in a ``/media``, ``/mnt`` or ``/run/media`` sub-directory. Mount your destination drive if necessary.
* Mac OS X: Partitions from external disk are usually mounted in ``/Volumes``.
