COPYR.DMA - program for creation HDD duplicates in DMA mode



COPYR.DMA is a free application for making copies of hard disks with bad sectors. The application works in DOS environment and uses DMA mode. COPYR does not use BIOS or interrupts, it does not care for file system integrity or number of logical volumes - it works with HDD in the way designed by developers (according to ATA specifications), independently of a computer, BIOS or OS.

Program features:
- High copying speed (up to 2.5 Gbyte/minute, on EPOX 8RDA3+ motherboard);
- Does not damage data on the source disk;
- Uses block and by-sector (in fault situations) reading;
- Ability to start and stop drive spindle motor;
- Ability to set starting and finishing sectors for copying.

Hi,

Thanx for the code, Aleksey!
I would like to have the source, if possible
Please e-mail me if U can!

regards.
pepe

I also would like to thank you for the free software

Tell me something, would you be interested to customize the software uppon my personal needs in exchange os $$$ ?? If yes, please PM me.

Hello

is via chipsets supported ? or intel only?

regards
Aryes

[Copyr]

Yes, most of chipsets supported.

Here I write about Intel chipsets, because in earlier versions it's not supported. But now program supported most of Intel chipsets too.

Best regards,
Alexey

COPYR.DMA updated. Expanded support of motherboards on Intel chipsets (build 013) is added.

thanks!

Hi Copyr,

I have used your program and I must say I am extremely impressed at the kind of copy speeds I am achieving!

Just a quick question however, I am still having problems with large disks, their capacity is limited to 128GB.

I am using build013, and have noticed on your home page it says that 128GB+ drives are supported but on the download page under limitaqtions it says that 128GB+ is not supported, is there another version, or is this something you plan to add in the future?

Is there any source code available for this?

Thanks!

At present plans, open source code's of utility not in interests of our company, because we already have more powerfull commercial product HD Duplicator.

HD Duplicator is the application for fast copying contents of IDE and SATA hard disks with faulty sectors that appear because of surface defects or malfunctioning of magnetic heads unit.

HD Duplicator features:

- Higher copying speed compared to COPYR.DMA;
- Software support of SATA drives;
- Application supports LBA48, which allows working with disks exceeding 128 Gbytes;
- Application allows processing hard disks with large defect zones;
- It is possible to copy hard disks with bad sectors causing non-readiness, using customizable application behavior on defect zones and reversed copying mode;
- While working with HDD tending to rattle, in cases of long non-readiness periods, it is possible to use computer power disabling feature to preserve surface integrity;
- Free version just skips bad sectors. HD Duplicator can long read partially bad sectors.

HD Duplicator more interesting and more powerfull tool.

Although the Copyr program appears to be intended to assist in copying drives with bad sectors etc it may help me out also. Before I start experimenting again here is my situation. Might the program help?

The patient or in this case patients are two identical Maxtor 40 gig drives that I was using in a raid0 array until some months ago. One drive appears to have some kind of smart failure. The Maxtor test software indicated it was working but near failure. I was able to do read\write testing and it passed using other test software (MHDD). I tried so m any things I have lost track. My last try at getting anywhere with the drives was a swap of the pc boards between the two units. All id s were identical. Result, the same drive is still doing the same things. MHDD is unable to do anything to work with SMART. It errors out not being able to access any of the settings. The cables and everything else to do with the computer seem fine.

I am thinking, always a dangerous occupation, that copyr might be able to get around the SMART problem and copy the drive. Is is capable of doing this and producing a clone of the drive that would allow it to bring the array back to life or am I engaging in wishful thinking.

Thanks all.

More details-the drives are 6E040L05. They are PATA connected to my Promise RAID controller built into an Asus P4PE MB through a couple of adapters. They check out as ok. The data is of moderate value at this point probably not worth spending a lot of money on it. Yeah, the whole setup was stupid. I just felt like trying it.

[Copyr]

For decision of problem with lag of hard disk at definition a smart and other modules (G-list, etc.) by motherboard.
1. Connect two serviceable disks (source and destination) on different channels and boot from diskette.
2. After loading disconnect one of disks and connect on its place faulty disk.
3. Run COPYR.DMA, define disks and make copy from faulty on serviceable.

[TedLewis]

Thanks much Copyr-

I'll give it a try.

After it works I'll post a follow up.

[TedLewis]

It worked.

I hooked up the two drives, the dead RAID drive and another IDE. The program saw both drives, did its copy and almost done.

Of course, it had to be, I got access to everything except the folder containing the docs I needed the most. That was nowhere to be found. I ran something I had, Restorer Pro 2000 on the array. Everything I wanted appeared. Job Done.

Thanks again, without Copyr I would still be sweating over this thing.

Which the advantage of the hdduplicator of copyr?

HD Duplicator features (full version):
- Higher copying speed compared to COPYR.DMA;
- Application supports LBA48, which allows working with disks exceeding 128 Gbytes;
- Program support of work with SATA disks, directly without any adapter;
- Support of new motherboards and any chipsets.
- Application allows processing hard disks with large defect zones;
- It is possible to copy hard disks with bad sectors causing non-readiness, using customizable application behavior on defect zones and reversed copying mode;
- Free version just skips bad sectors. HD Duplicator can long read partially bad sectors and to make the statistical analysis of the data readable from defective sectors;
- In full version you can use jumps on large defect zones, copying in some series, ignore CRC reading.
- In the full version you can choose between three standard modes of copying (for different damages of disks) or add new configurations.
- You can use Hard Drives Power Controller with full version.
- In HD Duplicator enters utility EraseDMA for fast HDD erasing. High level of data security for users by deleting the harddisk contents completely. Consequently the harddisk can be sold or passed on being assured the next owner will not be able to restore any of the previously stored data.
...and some other...

And how much is the Full version?

Operational system?
Size? (MB)9
And how much is the Full version? (US$)

Thanks for help!
