Hi Gurus:

I am trying to recover data using SalvationData HDD for Hitachi tool, i you can help me i will be hapy, thank for your help.

I have an Hitachi 5480 HD model.

When i switch on with HDD for Hitachi, the hd click 4/5 times, and then sounds well.

before HDD not show me the model number and other.

Them i try to "HDD load management" i click on 5480 model and i click "Load from HD" and HDD says me:
"Read SA Map module Error"
and
"Read RAM Map module Error"
and
"access violation at module ......" HDD for Hitachi cracks.


Them i reload HDD for Hitachi to try another things:

Them i try to "HDD load management" i click on 5480 model and i click "Load from File" (I used a ".res" file downloaded from salvationdata RAR files):
Them i try to "BackUp FW" but i can only backup this modules:
WRT1
WRT0


he other modules give me ERROR (The other modules give me error.)

Them i try to BackUP NVRAM with "NVRAM Operations" i click on "READ NVRAM" I think i have saved the NVRAM module (because I obtain a "NVRAM_5480_A5BA_B773DF4E_05_A593_1295_1.NVR" file)

Them i try to "UPDATE FW"
I Swithed to "SA-C" mode using in "SA-A/SA-C" button in "HDD load management" and
using "../MOD/A-ZONE" files downloaded from salvationdata RAR files and i try to UPDATE the HD firmware:
But i only can update some files.

The HD dont response well

The access violation error sounds bad. Have you contacted SD tech support?

Is your drive SATA or IDE? , if it is SATA make sure your SATA-->IDE converter is working and make sure you use the one comes with SD (yes the red SATA to IDE).
