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...

Yes!

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.

Could you explain me, for what? What to do with this feature?

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.
