Hello,
i want to know if is possible to scan usb drives in dos with mhdd.
I know there are many software that can scan drives in dos, but most of them will scan only if the drive is connected via PATA or SATA port.
Some drives have an integrated sata/usb adapter so it's impossible to check those in dos, so is important to make ricognize this usb drive in dos with mhdd.
How can i do?

Convert to SATA interface and check that way. Or else use Victoria in windows

There are several ways.Techies are getting their USB C Drom, Hard Drives, and other drives to work in DOS. One is using what's known as DUSE driver system. The second method is using what looks somewhat like standard C Drom driver files and a USB driver. Both methods appear to require loading an us baspiX.sys file first in config.sys in most cases. The third method is a bootdisk from a USB vendor.

There's an ISO to burn with MHDD where after installing you can choose running dos with USB drivers.
