Qui, possibile attivare la modalit di recupero estrema (Paranoid), mantenere i file corrotti (Keep corrupted files), sfruttare la modalit da esperto (Expert mode) e altre opzioni (come Low memory e Allow partial last cylinder). Per selezionare l'opzione, usare sempre le freccette su e gi; per modificarla, invece, usare quelle destra e sinistra e infine, scendere fino a Quit e cliccare su Invio. Per decidere con quali tipologie di file Photorec interagir durante il recupero, selezionare con la freccetta destra l'opzione File Opt e cliccare su Invio.

Il tempo necessario per il recupero dipender ovviamente dalle dimensioni dell'unit, dalla sua velocit e dal numero di file che possibile recuperare. Se il processo dovesse protrarsi per molto tempo, sufficiente cliccare su Invio per interrompere il recupero, confermando con un clic sulla lettera "Y" e su Invio di nuovo. Quanto gi recuperato sar disponibile in una cartella (recup_dir.1) creata dal programma nella directory dell'eseguibile. Al riavvio successivo, poi, l'applicativo potrebbe richiedere se si vuole procedere con la sessione di recupero lasciata in sospeso oppure no.
