data structure of the disk. Recovery of
large-capacity hard disks may take
several hours. Recovery of the hard disk
in the system is impossible. Recovery
will be executed the next time the
system is started.
Recovery may not be possible when the
volume to recover is currently in use. If
this happens, a message will be
displayed informing the user that
recovery cannot be performed at the
present time and asking whether
recovery should be scheduled for the
next time the system is started. Select
whether you want to click the [Cancel]
button and retry by clicking the [Recover]
button again, or whether you want to
click the [OK] button to execute recovery
the next time the system is started.
