If you actually have PC3000 contact ACE you look new and should have tech support for 1 year free that is if you bought the card from them and acutally have it

PC3000 will unlock this disk, you may need to manually edit the settings, but is possible.

I 'm buy PC3000-UDMA from china. ......
But he can't get me any more support,
if i ask he " how to to differentiate ATMR click ,"
he is say " We can to handle this problem 90%"........

Because Maxtor OneTouch III Mini has lock by user,

You get what you pay for....

Or better... you don't get what you don't pay for.

What's worst : PC3000 would do it easier, but it's not necessary.

pirate PC3k?

PC3K-PCI IN CHINA HAVE PRIATE, BUT PC3000-UDMA IS NOT.
I buy from China but regester from Ace ,
It is Ace authorize to China commercial agent.
But the commercial agent Can't support to me

[harddrivespecialist]

But the commercial agent Can't support to me

Support comes from Acelab itself.

This problem is described in user manual.
You should read it, I guess.

If everything you saying is tru and you unable to figure this out, you should replace a "gasket" between your Computer and your Chair.

thanks for harddrivespecialist

I will to read and think again and again

[BlackST]

The commercial agent can't help directly, but can address to the right support. Sooner or later (maybe sometimes later than sooner) they answer, if you are not able to find the solution (that exist !!).
