Reading sectors <#> to <#> on ...

The program is encountering a problem reading data from the sectors mentioned in the message. If this message appears only once, the program has moved on, and you need not take any action. If it is repeatedly displayed many times for the same sectors, the program is hung on the bad spot and has to be restarted.

To avoid this error, you can exclude the bad sectors and search the drive again. See "Handling Bad Media Spots" in Chapter 7. You can also use our Disk Recoup™ to create a disk image from the drive. Visit our web site at http://www.quetek.com for more information.

The device <drive> may be offline. Click "File", "Session" and "Save" to save the current session. Bring the device online (a reboot may be required). Rerun File Scavenger® and reload the session.
This message suggests a procedure to deal with the following scenario. After you search a drive, it goes offline due to the activity generated by the search. You cannot recover data because the drive is no longer accessible. If you reboot the computer to bring the drive online, you have to start over and the problem is repeated.

Using this procedure, you save the search results to a session file. Then reboot the computer to bring the drive back online. Reload the session and recover data. The drive is not searched again and will be online for recovery.
