Hi guys, i have a very very very old Caviar 170mbytes which i am unable to access or clone.
Model WDAC1170

I tried PC3000 it says drive is not in LBA mode, so it must be in CHS mode. Does anyone know how to clone this drive? thank you.

Hi,

Use an old pentium based PC and try to clone it with diskcopy for example.

Hi Terranova,

I've still got my first 8086 based Olivetti :-)

and a 486 based pc for such occasions.

Never throw something like that away!
