The Target Disks page lists the storage devices you can select to return data from the target host after a query.

Disk Info wizard Target Disks page

  • Enumerate all storage devices – Scans all internal drives. To expand the scan, include either or both of the following sub-options, or neither.

    • Include removable storage devices – Scans removable devices that are plugged into the target host
    • Include network storage devices – Scans mapped drives that exist through a connected network

  • Single drive letter – Collects information from a single drive (A: through Z:) during a single query. This option includes both operating system drives and removable disks.

  • Enumerate all mount points (available for Windows 2003+ systems) – Targets any drive letter on the target host that points to a mapped share drive
