I haft to rename the PUIS to PUIS.MBA?

why do you think that? Nobody says you have to, just copy the files. That's it.

I know that i can extract all from iso with 7 zip.
But I need a software with can i do that zip from MHDD (can i use winrar?) and one to make that Bootable_1.44M.img and one to make the cd bootable.
Can you help me with that software and some instructions?

[RezzZ]

I used a win98se bootdisk (you can download/find a lot on http://www.bootdisk.com/)
also, I downloaded the archive (not iso) and copied that in a mhdd folder on the bootdisk. Unzip with 7-zip or just any other archive tool.

I still had a floppy drive in my pc so that's easy, but you can create a bootable USB/ISO almost just as easy. Just google . Burn ISO with any cd burning tool like IMGBURN/NERO.

There are clearly some communication/language problems, and I do not have time to help with detailed "hand-holding" - I'll just say that your screenshot shows that no drive was recognised by MHDD, so two possible explanations include either (a) your problem is not really related to PUIS, or (b) your SATA controller is not configured to be compatible with MHDD.

For option (a), check whether the drive is recognised correctly by the BIOS (correct make, model & capacity) and explain exactly how you enabled PUIS, as you mentioned. For option (b) search this forum for "mhdd sata bios" (without the quotation marks) for previous discussions about what you can do, to try to make MHDD usable with your system. The necessary BIOS settings are not available on some laptop systems.

Sorry about what I wrote , I was sleepy.
In bios is recognized properly . With HDAT2 I enabled the PIUS from mistake.
My hdd is not in ahci mode , is ide so I think that should not be that problem.
I have ASUS M2V-MX SE motherboard and WDC_WD3200AAJS-65VWA0 hard-disk with 12.01B02 firmware.

OK, so we expect this is a genuine PUIS issue. I assume you have already tried using HDAT2 to reverse the PUIS flag, but it reports that PUIS is not enabled even though you know that it is enabled (which is the known WD bug).

My hdd is not in ahci mode , is ide

I assume you are refering to the SATA controller, not the drive (hdd).

I have ASUS M2V-MX SE motherboard

That's interesting. This is not a motherboard support forum but I checked the Asus website, and that motherboard has 2 x PATA and 2 x SATA ports. Look in the MHDD manual webpage - for controllers in IDE mode, MHDD only supports the primary (0x1Fx) & secondary (0x17x) PATA I/O addresses. Even if you put the SATA controller into IDE mode, which I/O address will the SATA controller use? Perhaps it is using a different I/O address, especially if the motherboard PATA controllers are still enabled...? That could explain why MHDD does not show your drive.

Somehow you have to find a motherboard & SATA controller configuration that will allow MHDD to recogise your drive, otherwise you cannot use MHDD to attempt to use guru's fix (obviously). If I was in your situation, I would be looking at the options available for your motherboard to disable the PATA controllers and to configure the SATA controller (in IDE mode) to use either the primary or secondary PATA I/O addresses. That's all I can suggest

My DVD-RW is on pata and if I disable it I can't wake up the hdd.
I could try to put on 2 usb memory one with MHDD and one with HDAT2.
Will an firmware update solve this problem?

Sorry for posting if this is an old thread,but i got question guys.

so,in essence,the MHDD method is a brute force "off" for the PUIS command and the HDAT2 method is just a wake up call for it?

what if MHDD doesn't see the drive? (bios detects the drive,just calls it a hard disk nothing more, but give all 0s as attributes for everything,sort of a "dumb detection"". but when one boots mhdd it does not see it at all. and says "slave drives not supported"!!

HDAT2 only sees the drive as a "pci device"..and lists DCO,HPA and security as disabled!.

is there a brute force method/Script to run to turn DCO back on if it is indeed disabled? (i assume if its off then the drive reports back that it has no features,command sets or anything useful)

please help guru..this is driving me crazy dude.

Hi Guys,

I've successfully spin up the drive using the hdat2 and now would like to run puis script in MHDD.

I'm in MHDD and selected drive but not sure where should I type .puis.

Someone help will appreciate.
