In the following Hands-On Projects, continue to work at the workstation you set up in this chapter. Extract the compressed files from the Chap02\Projects folder on the book’s DVD to your Work\Chap02\Projects folder. (If necessary, create this folder on your system to store your files.)

If needed, refer to the directions in this chapter and the ProDiscover user manual, which is in C:\Program Files\ Technology Pathways\ProDiscover by default.

Sometimes discovery demands from law firms require you to recover only allocated data from a disk. This project shows you how to extract just the files that haven’t been deleted from an image.

1. Start ProDiscover Basic. In the New Project tab, enter a project number, brief description, and the project name C2Prj04, and then click Open.

2. In the tree view, click to expand Add, and then click Image File. Navigate to your work folder, click the C2Prj04.eve file, and then click Open. Click Yes in the Auto Image Checksum message box, if necessary. Save the project in your work folder.

3. In the tree view, click to expand Content View, click to expand Images, and then click the pathname containing the image file. Notice the files visible in the work area.

4. Click the column header Deleted to sort the files into YES and NO groups (see Figure 2-18).

5. To extract the allocated files from the image to your work folder, rightclick each file containing NO in the Deleted column and click Copy File. (Note that in ProDiscover Basic, there’s no way to select multiple files at once. You must copy each allocated file separately.) When you’re finished, save the project and exit ProDiscover Basic.
