WD1600JS-55NCB1 SATA

October 17th, 2008, 6:21

Hi All
I have a WD1600JS-55NCB1 that takes a while to acquire and scans on MHDD with green s.

To me this should require translator regeneration but my data extractor does not support. Can anyone help with this

I believe Salvation Data Western Digital Tool could help you.

Just to prove that with forward thinking and some applied grey mater the solutions are easy. HDD_Master has "guided" me to a solution and with a few tweaks I can now see structure and recovering data. Slow but recovering none the less.

Basically you just need to bypass all firmware.

This post doesn't make any sense. I find it interesting that Data Extractor does not support this drive. Can you elaborate more on this? Why would you use MHDD if you had DE? If you had DE why don't you use pc-3000? Why do you assume it's a translator problem? Is this a plug for Salvation advertising?

Basically you just need to bypass all firmware.


Now why didn't I think of that? :roll:
