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.

This project is a continuation from the previous project; you’ll create a report listing all the unallocated (deleted) files ProDiscover finds.

1. Start ProDiscover Basic. Click the Open Project tab, and navigate to your work folder.

2. Click the C2Prj04.dft file and click Open. Click Yes in the Auto Image Checksum message box, if necessary.

3. If necessary, sort the files in the work area again by clicking the Deleted column header. Click the check box in the Select column next to all unallocated (deleted) files, as shown in Figure 2-19. As you click each check box, the Add Comment dialog box opens, where you can enter a description of each file.

4. In the Investigator comments text box, add a comment noting that the file is deleted and indicating its file type, such as a Word document or an image file (.jpeg or .gif, for instance). Be sure to enter something meaningful by examining the file first.

5. When you’re finished, click Report in the tree view. If you’re satisfied, export the report by clicking the Export toolbar button. In the Export dialog box, select the format option you want, type C2Prj05Report in the File Name text box, and then click OK. Save the project and exit ProDiscover Basic.
