mhdd will work i know

[gurudev]

Thanks a lot guys,
i know that mhdd will do it. I was just asking that i would be able to do it without stoping the spindle or not.

For your refence i did something like it.

1. I boot the system with mtl.
2. Did the hot swap without stoping the spindle.
3. Re-Scan the disks. MTL shows the data of the disk ( but the serial number was of the previus disk ). So, i think it was successful.

Your thoughts ?

Thanks a lot guys,

step 1. - wrong

step 2. - wrong

step 3. - if the drive reads - wrong data.

Read procedure again and stick to it - exactly.

Even then you won't get correct data.
Procedure is not intended to get data recovery.
Procedure is intended to give possible opportunity
to access firmware.

Further step 2 - gives good chance to destroy pcb
and maybe some hda components.

Hi, Fujimax,

I used HS to access the data itself if the FW was so corrupt it seemed to be impossible to repair.
It is pretty useful if one has a good SW to rebuild the sector structure.
I have written one, not too professional, but it never leaved me in trouble.

Hi Pepe,
according to your experience on which hdds will HS work. Someone told me on another forum that it will not on WD disks.
