Now if you can use WDMarvel in IDE mode just "detect" a known good drive and when you do confirm that it's working it's time to power off the known good drive to replace it with the damaged drive.
Got this set up earlier, but I'm not sure I'm doing everything correctly as none of the boxes in the "Drive" section are getting filled in on detect. On launch, it scans and finds six controllers (4-Intel,2-Marvell Semiconductor). The first (SATA-0) system drive is a Seagate, and I can detect and get a few of the boxes filled for that on the first of the four Intels. The two Marvells don't detect anything.
Right now, on SATA-5 is that duplicate WD320. It's brand new and uninitialized if that makes any difference. The BIOS sees it fine, and is set for IDE mode with SMART turned off. WDMarvel is also in IDE. In the device manager, I get three Primary Channels, three Secondary Channels, and three Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controllers. The first of the secondaries seemed to be where the WD was showing up. I set it for PIO and disabled it before running WDMarvel. The WD drive then disappears from the disk management console. This is all under Windows XPsp3.
I'll try to read up some on WDMarvel unless someone spots something I'm doing wrong.
Thanks!
