Lost objects (defaultvalue Files andfolders)
Determines what objects (filesand/or folders ) will be looked for by Scan UDF Disc.
Forced scan (defaultvalue Don't apply)
If the selected setting is different from the default value, theprogram will force the drive to scan your disc in order to find thelost files without using the data of system area. We highlyrecommend you to use this only if the inserted disk has not beenrecognized by CDRoller before, and you are also sure the diskcontains the files. This may be useful if the disk was incorrectlyfinalized and system area was not written properly. For example,this problem often occures on Sony Mavica CD when the finalizationstep failed on the camera.
