Main Menu:
Select a HDD to enter main menu. There are five function items, “DIVIDE HID-
DEN PARTITION”, “RELEASE HIDDEN PARTITION”, “BACKUP”, “RECOVERY”
and “CHANGE PASSWORD”. You can switch the highlight bar to make a selec-
tion on the operation which should be performed on the HDD and confirm your
selection by pressing <Enter>. The following operation will be performed on the
disk you selected.
1. What’s a Hidden Partition:
SuperRecovery can be used to divide a hidden partition, which is to be reserved
for backing up HDD data. The operation of Division will erase all the old data
saved in the HDD, to make sure that the following operations can be continued.
Once the division is done, any future variation to the HDD will never affect the
area of hidden partition, such as virus, windows system breaking down and
data loss. SuperRecovery can recover all the data backed up in hidden partition.
The user can therefore easily get the computer on track again.
2. Divide Hidden Partition:
1) Enter a percentage of the HDD total capacity or an actual size in MB as
the size of the hidden partition, such as “30%” or “3000”. Press <Enter>
to confirm your input. As the average rate of compression is 50% or so,
you are suggested to divide 30% of the total as the capacity of the hidden
partition;
2) The system will then prompt you to enter “Y” or “N” for confirmation.
Press <Y> to restart the computer, and the division for hidden partition
will be taken into effect after the system is restarted.
