Surface Test - No option to resume scan at specific block

I only have the Surface Test Configuration options for Sequential Test and Random Test. No option to resume my scan from a particular block. Scanned a large device for 11 hours yesterday and would prefer to not restart a 25 hour scan from the beginning.

yes, I already looked there before posting this. My issue is that there is no option to Limit testing to specific data blocks located in the Configuration tab.

The option "Limit testing to specific data blocks" (and some additional test options / test functions) are available in the Professional version only: if the option is not visible, then you probably use Hard Disk Sentinel standard which has only few options for testing.

If you prefer, you can upgrade to Pro version: just send e-mail with your current license code to info (at) hdsentinel (dot) com
