Thank you,

You have the wrong idea I'm afraid, it's not a cell phone, you can't just 'reflash' it.

What makes you think your drives firmware is corrupt?

Ok I have read the articals and they are WAY easier to understand then the bounds of salvationdata articals I have been reading.

So what the real problem here is I have plugged the HD in the WD Doctor and went to verify the FW, and it only comes up with 5 or 6 mods.

"Diagnostics" by a newb -
The HD can be plugged into a windows system, it takes a VERY long time for it to detect by usb adapter. In the drive management it will not initialize, nor does it show any other type of information. "Failure to initialize"

When plugged in it spins up and sounds like its reading like a normal drive, after a minute or so you can hear 1 single click and then it sounds like the HD powers down, and then it will repeat this process. (FW assumption happened here)

I know I am a newb at this data recovery, put I have been a computer tech for 9 years. I dont know everything, but I am willing to learn.


Thank you,

So would be to possible to get Hard ware or software that can do the reading of the HD backwords? I had heard that somewhere? That if the first section of the HD is scratched on a 3.5 or vice versa for a 2.5 inch you can get something that will read it backwords?

Does anyone know of the Hard ware or software that will do so?


Thank you,

Kasey Zeltinger

Nothing can do that without addressing the underlying hardware issue first.
