Hello, How can I do for passing the tech commands ? It's SATA controller of WD RAPTOR WD1500ADFD drive. I jumped SSC-SEL, PM2 and OPT1 -> After power on drive switched to ready status, but when I want to read ROM I can't change ROM. I read that short circuit one point with GND and it'll work. (but wich point ?) Regards Misioux |

Do you have PC3000 UDMA? Other tools can't work with Raptors. |

Well this drive is with WDC CPU but to get ROM utility need to use Marvell-based commands BUT it could be the Acelab utility has common error in SCT commands and will not be able to get ROM from drive with WDC CPU |

Hello, Thanks for your answers. I want to re-change the head map, because after modifing the first time drive click. So I want to return native configuration, and I don't know how to do without PC3000 utilities. How can I do ? Misioux |

For safe-mode on SATA WD drives you need to put 3 jumpres close to interface connector not to power connector like on PATA drives If you was able to re-write ROM the first time you will be able to re-write it in second time with the same utiliy |

Hello, I jumped board has you said, but when I power ON, busy light green during 2 sec and after light off. I tried to read ROM without success. The first time I modified ROM, I start drive in Normal mode, Now when I start drive in Normal mode drive click. I used PC3000 UDMA ver 3.2.1. Regards, Misioux |
