Running the ZU under win XP, the application opens for a quarter of a second then closes, but under CMD it works. Is there anyway to see what drive i selected? I know that there are /P, /S and /A commands, but I am not sure which command to use. Currently i got 1 hdd on SATA (OS drive) and 1 IDE drive set as master (the one i want the password to be removed). Running both commands seem to also move the os drive's heads. I am also very new to ZU. Any ideas?

Do i need to run it under CMD or DOS? Running it in windows closes the tool after quarter of a second. Also, since i got 1 sata drive (OS drive) and 1 ide drive (the one i want to unlock) should I choose /S command or /P command? I an very new to ZU.

Okay, i unlocked it using ZU under dos. Unplugged the OS drive and just left the locked drive. Now ill try unlocking an Seagate ST310014ACE and an Fujitsu MHV2100BH.

Sadly, i couldn't unlock both of the drives. Seagate one is detected but after 1 second it clicks and ZU says unlock not complete. The fujitsu drive isn't detected at all. The sata is set to IDE so it should get detected, right? Any ideas?

One of the CPs would be security related, I would think.

Running the script in MHDD leaves me with an ERROR: cannot create file FUJ_MODS.BIN. Since i don't have an TLL adapter for the seagate, im gonna focus on the fujitsu hdd. Any ideas?

Running the script returns me with an error that it cant create the file FUJ_MODS.BIN. Im gonna focus on the fujtisu hdd first since it seems like the seagate one is from an xbox. Any ideas?

Code:
sectorsto = fuj_mods\%modid.bin

You need to create a directory named "fuj_mods". All the modules will then be saved to this directory.

Can i create that directory anywhere on the floppy or in the mhdd folder?

Re: ATA password bypassing

If you use the following line, then you can place the directory in the root. Otherwise, it is a subdirectory of your MHDD directory.

Code:
sectorsto = \fuj_mods\%modid.bin

See page 12:

https://www.acelab.ru/dep.pc/doc.pc3000dos/060713.001/Fuj_MPG-3.pdf

CP 0x0C (SM) stores the master password.

CP 0x0D (SU) stores the user password.

After running the script it created .bin files from 1 to 161 until it filled up the whole floppy. Any ideas what should i do next?

Examine 12 and 13 with a hex editor, eg HxD.

The problem is they are missing :( Seems like it also skiped 56-64, 80, 83-85, 87-95, 113-127, and 160. Any ideas?

Re: ATA password bypassing

I do have some ideas, but they would require experimenting with a donor drive. I suspect that the SU and SM modules cannot be accessed due to some kind of protection issue.

In any case, I find it disturbing that you want to defeat the password on so many drives. Something is not right ...

Edit: Xbox?

Can you upload your module dump?

Here are two resource dumps:

The reason I've got so many locked drives is because i recently got 9 "untested" drives, 3 of which are locked. I've also forgot to state that i do not need the data on them, just trying to make them usable again. Ill try to look for a working donor drive thats for a reasonable price. I'll try dumping the modules today.

Sadly i forgot that i am not able to do module dumps and i don't have an TLL adapter for the seagate drive. Any ideas?

Upload these .bin files (after ZIP-ing them).

I can't see anything that looks like a security module. Those other resource dumps don't have the SU and SM modules, either, so I don't know whether a donor would be useful. I was thinking that a hot swap might work, but now I'm not so sure. If I knew how to obtain a full track dump I might be able to do something, but unfortunately I don't.
