Sounds like you might be recovering the hard drive! I'd stop and quit if that's the case.

I'm afraid I'm on Linux but the first page asks you to to select the drive:

Disk capacity must be correctly detected for a successful recovery.                                                                                 
If a disk listed above has incorrect size, check HD jumper settings, BIOS                                                                           
detection, and install the latest OS patches and disk drivers.      


In my case, I'd want to move down to /dev/sdh. I'd guess with Windows it would be some drive from E: on. The size of the disk should give a clue.
