Hi all,

I have an Old(1991) HD, a seagate ST-157A witch might contain important informations.

When I plug it the drive is going fine is detect corectly on the bios, I can read sector by sector on PC3K ISA universal utilities no BS. But this drive do not support LBA (No translator) Adressing when I tried to image it thru Data extractor, Copyr, and A few other one they all give me the same error (No LBA support).

I am wondering if anybody know a software wich is able to image in chs mode. So I could read the data thru it.

Here's a few ste I already made:

-Download HD Information on seagate sites.
-Tried to manually specify CHS mode on the bios.
-Tried to detect it thru windows (USB2IDE).
-Try to plug it in slave on a win98/XP (None will start while drive attached).
-I event get an old P1 166Mhz from the musuem and try to force an CHS mode in the Bios.
-Try to get a report from MHDD (Gives an no LBA support error).

I came to the conclusion that I might need to write my own assembly tools to copy CHS to LBA but I'm pretty sure it already exist I just can fine it.

Do any body has an other sugestion.

Best Regards

Franck

MHDD 2.9 supports CHS drives. If you can find it somewhere...
