In this module, I know some of the structure and offset defined, such as logical zone maps, spt offset, the phy zone maps, the phy zone offset pointer, can you tell me more information?

Sadly this is where you have to do your own research :idea:

There are very few people watching this forum who have the same skills that you do. I'd say that 99% of them can't help you while those that can, won't. That's the DR business in a nutshell.

Of course it might help if you could be a lot more open about what you know. Have you actually published any of your research?

You problem is not getting help on this one. The problems is that people have spents so much time and money on this it is not easy for them to just give it away for free.

If someone publishes their finding each new person who has no idea what they are doing will think this is the solution to their problem. Using your work they will destroy their HDD and then come back crying on this one. There are limits as to what people can do on their own and this one is not one of them.

You best bet is to make some good working relations with people here and work together in private to find you answers. There is a lot of people here who have done this before and understand how it all works and if you share with certain people in private they will share back with you. But here it is not get this info from one and post it all over the internet for others becasue information like this in wrong hands can do more damage than good.

As you see DR is not so easy and each person thinks that they can find a way to fix their HDD that is broken. One fix is not an all fix for everyone. That is the problems here in this work. It takes a lot of personal time to do this and to find a way to fix something that is broken and one fix is not an all over fix for everyone.

If you want to follow advice and publish what you have this is your choice on this one. But if you ask certain questinos and post a few things here you might get back a few responses but just pointing you where to look to go on with your research on this one.

Maybe the problem is also somewhere else : do you want info in order to make something COMMERCIAL and earn money from it ? You have to do your own research . Do you want info to do something that is going to be widespread for free over the internet ? You have to do your own research OR trade other info for info (assuming you have it and demand meet offer).

The latter idea may be questionable in this world, but there's always need for philantropic opera. Don't know if it will be "useful" in another life or will bring in some way to you bread and butter, it's all about personal sphere.

P.S. Why not ask on other forums ? :mrgreen:
