Check This is usually not selected. Use it only if

structure of the disk. Recovery of large-
capacity hard disks may take several

system is impossible. Recovery will be
executed the next time the system is

next system startup?”. Select whether you
want to click the [Cancel] button and retry
by clicking the [Recover] button again, or
