SuperScan can be a long process. You can check the estimated run time displayed on the status panel at bottom of the Scanning Area. You can wait until SuperScan finishes, or you can inspect and manage found partitions volumes "on-the-fly":. After you complete a SuperScan, you may find hundreds of partitions. Volumes having different locations and size, may have been created and then deleted at different times on the device being scanned.

Moreover, if what remains of damaged disk structures is not enough to define all of the necessary partition parameters, SuperScan uses complex algorithms to project the most probable parameters and, instead of displaying one partition could display partitions having different sizes, offsets, cluster size and so on.

This does not mean that SuperScan creates a lot of garbage. This means that among these projected partitions most likely will be the one you've lost, and most likely you'll be able to find and recover your data.

So, if you cannot find your data on the volumes having Excellent or Good recovery status, it is still recommended that you wait until SuperScan finishes and then inspect all found volumes once again.

To reduce the amount of work, you may use a filter so that you are working with a smaller set of data. After the SuperScan, all detected volumes are displayed.

When you change the settings in the filter dialog box, you can display only selected types of volumes. To select the types of file systems to display, in the File Systems area, clear the check box beside the types that you do not want to display. Only the selected types of file systems data will be displayed.
