Yes, the books were written on how to use the SD tools from Salvation Data. However, if you know how to adapt the technology in the books the information in there can be used with other tools on the market.
Considering SD no longer updates their tools and many people still request the manuals I found a way for people to still get this info. I stopped selling the manuals because SD stopped to support their products. It wasn't fair to ask people to buy the books when SD wasn't doing their part.
Recently I have discovered that I can still offer these books but at a very discounted price. The information in the books is still valid today and will still work with any older model HDD. Yes, we still get these in from time to time and because we are so busy dealing with the new technology some of the old repair tricks have slipped our minds. Therefore, if you are still interested in any of these books just contact me. The price is very reasonable and they are sold as is now and there are no refunds. Many people have taken advantage of the reduced price and have purchased the book in the last few months from me. I just didn't offer them back on here because I didn't think a lot of people were interested in them. However, send me a PM or go to this link and find the download page for eBook. They are listed at the bottom of this page.
Just click on the link the price is displayed, pay the books through PayPal and afterward, click on Return to Merchant to recieve your book.
