Dmitry or Bastard:

if mhdd software can execute all of the above mention, I would like to find out how to "view factory defect list" for a hard drive. Please advise.

thanks

i removed that crap. if you want, you can use mhdd 2.9 to view fujitsu and ibm lists...

It's a nice feature .... don't know why you removed it. I was trying to read a defect list from a hitachi laptop drive since pc3k doesn't support it and I thought your software would.

thanks for the quick reply.

Exactly, what is the use of VIEW defect list if you cannot update/erase. Ok maybe for
buying new HDD's but you can always check the SMART of the drive.

Or maybe ok for digging factory cmmands? I guess no harm in IBM G list and Quaxtor Defect lists because there not so confidential to people

To be honest I don't really use MHDD but I thought it would be cool (Classe ;o) ) if you could add a feauture to make batch commands VIA task file ports?

say like IBM Format Unit command
Unlock IBM with TXT file of your own found master passwords , auto unlock if file found. Or even better!!! Add feature to extract ICES crypt/decrypt file from good drive but I guess that won't happen... Also Toshiba password decrypt would be nice.. will send you

Dmitry... I need the defect list for shiftpoints. If I can view that with mhdd, I won't need to scan for it.
