Hi Every body this is my first mail..

I have tried this utility but it seems that it does not recognize my HD . It simple says

MHDD for every command...
Drive not Ready !

Boot Screen says ATAPI Incompatible

I am intermediate in recovering hard disks. kindly tell me how to recover files from 17.2 GB Seagate Hard Drive. I have been trying for months no it. But i simply not able to retreive anything...

There is no such cabling fault..

Dont know what else to do.
Any help suggestions, would be appreciated... Really dont want to waste my assignments and other important data on Damage Disk..

Dmitry_Postrigan . Need some knowledge on this matter from You

Cheers.
Jahangir.

Have you tried to manually enter the CHS values in bios ?
Did you put it as secondary master / slave ?
Do you have a HD or cdrom attached to the same IDE cable ?
What does the status register . error register say on top of the screen when using mhdd ?
Tried it on another motherboard ?

Sorry for that many questions, This is just as a reminder .......

I know you are expecting a reply from the Master Hard Disk Dmitry (MHDD), i hope he will reply soon.

For all of us that's diffcult to repair seagate hdd. If it can't recoginzed by MHDD, you can try with some com command .At first you should have com cable and have a try . may be it's useful but i'm not sure.

Thank you for some new Areas to be figured out.. Jerry can you please guide me how to use com commands with seagate hdd .. I really dont know about . Infact I heard it for the first time . I would appreciate if you throw some light on in .

thanks.
Jahangir

Hmmmm yes boss I have tried all of the above things and may be more.
Did you put it as secondary master / slave ? ---> Yes
Do you have a HD or cdrom attached to the same IDE cable ? -->No
Tried it on another motherboard ?-->Yes


Only one thing left for checking status registers ,error registers.. I really have not seen them on screen or may be i just missed them ..

Well If you have any more options do tell me...

I just have got new BARACODA 40 GB Seagate Drive.


dont know how to retreive the data....on previous hdd

Thanks

Why do not try warranty

For: cenahum
As far as I know warranty does not include recovering your data from old hdd, only exchange it with new one.
