Fujitsu MHV2100BH SM and SU password modules damaged.
October 17th, 2007, 22:42
Hello All,
After replacing defective heads, SA structure check found password modules damaged and drive is locked. I do not have PC3000 UDMA, SA structure check was using family MHT which allows proper SA reading from known good MHV2100BH drive, writing modules will not work since the MHV family is not supported.
Do you guys have any suggestion to solve this problem, other than to buy PC3000 UDMA?
Due to the module problems, HDDUNLOCK.com was not able to help me on this particular case.
Thank you All.

There are some free programs like fujtool and fujitsu explorer
which you can google.
Very easy to read SM and SU modules which contain password
data for even latest fujitsu drives including sata drives.

Hi,
It needs to recovery the data?

Thank you for your replies.
Yes I need the data from this drive, so I can't use security erase.
Utilities suggested by Coffeebean look great.
More than finding the password, I need to re-write this damaged modules with good modules from a donnor drive and Fuj_expl/PCHDD/FujTool will do the trick.
I am having problems when running PCHDD, the program will identify the drive fine but it will not run diagnostics saying to "Allocate DATABUFFER".
Do you guys have any suggestion or alternative program (no PC3000) that could help me look at the modules of this drive? I need to make sure about the hex ID of the modules before I rename them to the decimal equivalent to use Fujtool to write the modules to the bad drive.
Thank you again for all your help.

Author of PCHDD good expert, but free program bit limited.
Some MHV drives don't allow reading SM and SU (decimal 12 and 13 with Fujtool)
Also PC3000-PCI also don't read some MHV, but all MHW I tested read fine.
Sometimes SM must be read twice with Fujtool.
So maybe when you see SM and SU not reading using pc3000-pci,
in fact maybe not a problem with the drive.
Best check if MHDD bulb lights up PWD when connected.
