DiskInfo: Target Disks

The Target Disks page provides a selection of storage devices from which to return data from the target host after a query.

Disk Info wizard Target Disks page

Use the options to select the desired target disk.

  • The Enumerate all storage devices – Allows all internal drives to be scanned. In order to expand the scan, two sub-options can be included together, separately, or not at all.

    • 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 – Allows information to be collected 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

  • Registry lookup – Provides the path of connection to gather information from the Access Analyzer Registry Browser. By default, the local host will be targeted unless modified. The Registry value are instructions for the data found within the subfolders of the registry.
