Hi

I want to give a backup from my hard disk flash ROM with SATA interface.
Can the tool MHDD read the flash ROM?
Is there any software that could read the flash ROM running on windows 7?
I've examined some tools like Mavr_fl, Mavr_r and SeDiv but all of them must running on hard drive with IDE interface.
If I change the SATA to IDE/Legacy the operating system cannot boot on.
I also try to run live/install windows xp but it fails due to same reason.

Any solution will be appreciated.

MHDD runs under DOS and requires that the interface be IDE.

Try WDR demo.

I can run the MHDD using the iso file "Magic Boot Disk". Is there any documentation that explain the firmware reading using MHDD?
I will also test the WDR tool.
Thanks.
