Hi all, i got firmware corupted on my 80gb maxtor ide (bios detects as maxtor calypso) , 6y080P0 so please anyone could send me hd doctor for maxtor or hdd firmware repairer pro to email roland_galkus at yahoo.com
i got so much important data on that drive, and so little money for recovery service. any help with this software would be very helpfull

Roland,

Lithuania..

1. HD Doctor for Maxtor is a Hardware device.

2. HDD Firmware Repairer Pro is not a free product, it is copy protected with dongle, so no warez.

You cannot fix this with free s/w.

Sorry

so i wonder now, is the hdd firmware repairer pro a software solution ? or it needs a specific hardware too ?

Hi, as pcimage said:

A Dongle is a hardware, usaly placed in usb, com or lpt port.

thanx,

ok just a simple question i got maxtor 80gb 6y080p0 calypso family,

is there anyway to fix its firmware without a specific hardware, using just my own pc and software ?

im thinkin about pc-3000.. ?

Nope. Nothing you can do with standard PC & free software.

PC-3000 is partly hardware based too.

And VERY expensive.

ok than i will ask is there anythink i can do with a standart pc and buyed software ?
i mean can i fix firmware via IDE interface only ?

Only if u have a lot of knowdlegment about ATA protocol´s ,know Vendor commands, know about programming language , on this language, make your own tools to access vendor tracks, and try to repair it maybe u can do it this task by your own but , its not a easy job

the cheapest way is do it yourself, but it can take years just to learn how to perform the programming language..

you can try AFF service. maybe they can help u with some fee ( anyway it's more cheap than buying those stuff if you just planning to make one recovery )
