Would you consider showing us a page or two from your books so that we could get some idea as to what we are buying?

Look the books were written back in 2009 for a tool that is no longer sold on the market today. The last update on the books was 2011. You took the free training material and in the books, you will get the same information as this. I would not recommend the books if you do not own these tools at all. If you want to invest the $5.50 for the book take the appendix of each book only because the operation portion is only about the tools. For the cheap price, I sell these books as-is and I do not give out free samples at all. They are as is and like I did say the material is old and outdated like this training material that you downloaded. I handled this out because people were asking for help and this was one way to help them during the lockdown period around the world.
Sorry to be rude but at times I feel like I work for a food bank but instead it is a DR bank were everyone I meet gives me a sob story, claims they are new, and wants it all for free. Then they turn around and laugh behind your back as they copy your material, make classes, or sell it behind your back to make a profit from your work. I have take4n on a bit of a hardcore attitude by now refusing people and telling them NO. I gave what I gave and this is all I am giving.

This would also prevent shit prices on the market. One would not sell $100 dr service if he have had to invest a lot of time and money into it. It's not about robbing our clients but this service cannot cost $100 unless seriously violating IP. Which is not a huge problem for most people but it is to anyone who ever invested lot of time into research and programming.
Not to mention that the info in those manuals are very basic, it is highly probable the people having that level of knowledge will not be able to cope with cases with immediate level of complexity, they will only screw them up for good.

command to display all non-zero counter values

The sections in the book were a breakdown of the function of the tool and told what each function did and showed the person how the tool actually worked. The older books were to teach people how to master the tools so they could go on and learn how to recover the hard drives by working on older test drives first to get the experience needed so they could move on to customers drives. The training material handed out were course outlines for the class. Anyone taking a training class will not get advanced training they will only get a class that teaches them the basics and in the end, leaves them with 1000s of questions more on how to actually do the work. What I have found out is that people want all this old stuff so that they can revise it now, make worthless training videos on YouTube and then write up books from the information they have stolen and sell them off as their own. I ran across a company in India that was offering stay at home DR training class to teach people Dr for guess what $6 or 499 Rs.
I have been compiling all of my old case notes in two books one for WD and one for Seagate for the past few years. Last year people were after me to release a new book so I decided to write one up for Seagate based on the case studies I have done. I only did the book using terminal commands so the book could be used by any tool on the market and it was not for one tool or tool sensitive. I did the same for WD from my old cases. But in the end, the solutions are there but if you do not understand why you use this command and not another one is not there and it turns out, in the end, to be the same as a one-button fix it all solution. I tried to tell people the solutions are there but you need to really learn terminal commands and how to read the terminal output in order to make sure you are applying the right solution to fix the drive otherwise you can destroy the data forever. One time I asked a very simple question What is the terminal command to display all non-zero counter values?. Nobody could answer me. Saying this it proves people do not take the time to use old drives and study the terminal commands before working on a client's drive.

You clearly did not read what you were buying as the description was very clear. That book that is online is the material for the Infosec Institute class version 1.0 from 2007 that is only powerpoints and has no material it in, which is the class Infosec is still selling.
This is a COLOR book is detailed slides for a Class on Forensics & Data Recovery taught by Scott A. Moulton from Forensic Strategy Services. There is a lot of details in these slides with hundreds of pages of techniques on how to do data recovery and forensics

None of these people seem to have any idea how much work it takes and how long it takes to make material. Just because you can write down a blog post in 10 mins does not mean you can produce a week long training course. Also this material might NOT be for you! If you know something and you don't like this, then skip it. There are people out there that don't know, and want to know and for someone this is new material. There are a lot of people starting out, so if you are not then this MATERIAL IS NOT FOR YOU. Move on. But really, I dont care if you want to waste your time ripping on me, obviously if you have time to do that, you don't have time to do it for real yourself. There will alway be someone who will appreciate what we have done, even if you don't. If you are not part of the solution then don't be part of the problem.
