Using the DM24
To read a disk using GCFXtract:
1. Attach the disk to your computer. You can use FireWire, USB, or any other
interface supported by your computer and the disk.
2. Run GCFXtract and select the required disk from the drop-down list, then
click
.
GCFXtract will scan the disk and display all the streams it finds in the
selection area below. For each stream, the
Stream ID
and the number of
blocks found are shown.
This operation requires roughly 12 Mb of available memory for every Gb of
space on the disk. If you have a very large disk, your computer may have to
use its hard disk to make enough space. This will slow down scanning
considerably.
3. By default, all streams containing more than 100 blocks are selected for
extraction. You can change which streams to extract by ticking or clearing
the check-box beside each stream.
4. You can tick or clear all of the check-boxes using the
and
buttons. Clicking Invert
ticks all clear boxes, and clears all ticked
boxes.
5. Enter a path name into the Target Directory field, or use the
button to
find a directory. This will be used as the root directory for extracted data. If it
does not exist, GCFXtract will create it.
6. Enter a format string into the Filename Format field. The syntax is the same
as
and full documentation is available by
pressing the button beside the format entry field in interactive mode.
