Hi JakeTse, you are allowed to talk about your products here. Spam isn't strictly prohibited as long as it's data recovery related. However, you must disclose that your represent the software and request "official representative" status. Please let me know if you represent this program and I...

Just want to let you all know that I've adjusted the color scheme of the code boxes (for those of you using the default theme, not prosilver) to make it easier to read. Hopefully you can read this easier than the old green on tan color scheme

OK, I know this isn't exactly "data recovery" but it's something you may wish to do in your data recovery work. For example, let's say you've got a below average intelligence customer who's data is buried deep into their folder structure and you know that simply giving them a folder location is...

I've created a few new sub reddits on reddit.com where you can post links to blog posts and videos you create. Blog Posts http://www.reddit.com/r/DataRecoveryBlog Videos http://www.reddit.com/r/DataRecoveryVideos Please feel free to post there. I will block anything that's just outright...

So I just finished up creating a new way for customers to submit cases online: https://www.data-medics.com/data-recove ... orization/ Tell me what you think of the new system. (feel free to submit a fake entry, just be sure I can tell it's fake :D )

So I'm considering setting up Google Chrome push notifications on this forum. That way if you're following a topic you'll get that little pop-up box in the corner of your desktop when a reply is posted. Anyone think this is a good idea? Anyone who would actually use it? Does anyone hate the...

Now I'm no fan of DriveSavers myself, but it looks like someone is really out to get them. I happened to be comparing some site metrics (comparing my site to theirs) and I noticed a huge jump in the number of new domains linking to them. Then I see this: Looks like someone is building...

In my opinion Seagate's lock on the terminal is nothing more than a way to monopolize the recovery of their own drives to their own lab. It's no different than if a car company was to put a lock on the hood of a car so only their service centers could work on the engine. I'm considering...

Just a couple questions for you flash experts on here. I've got a thumbdrive that was previously soldered on and it's missing at least one component, which I'm assuming was a resistor. Though, it's possible that it's just a bridge (but I can't see why that would be necessary if it was)...

So I'm adding this sticky to keep track of known Samsung terminal commands and their function. I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to working in Samsung terminal, so please feel free to correct me if anything I post is inaccurate. BT - switches from ENG> to BOOT> level for ROM downloading Esc...

I'm looking for some alternative programs to HyperTerminal, since it's no longer included with windows 10. I've used Putty and it's variant Kitty, but they are both lacking a key function. Neither one can download/upload a file over serial connection like HyperTerminal could. So while you can...

Not sure if you guys saw this yet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeUCvlCKmCI Seems pretty cool and much easier than soldering a million wires under a microscope. I guess I just wonder how well it'll work if you need to re-arrange and overlap the pins. Are they all a slightly different...

This one really surprised me. Got a 5 platter 10 head 4Tb HDS724040ALE640 that came in totally seized after a good drop. Heads were stuck to platters, bearing totally seized. With enough force I managed to get the bearing to spin so I could safely remove the heads. However the spindle had an...

While I don't actually do any forensics work, occasionally I've been asked to acquire a drive image along with an MD5 or SHA-1 checksum. Perhaps adding in a --forensic trigger (even if it's in the paid version) would be really awesome. Even if it just created a log file at the end with the...

So, I've finally come up with a good way to store HDD PCBs that doesn't take up a ton of space and is really easy to find the one you need: That's right, CD jewel cases w/o the actual CD trays inside. Now it's just a matter of time before my wife gets them all organized and on the racks.

Here's the drive: If someone has one that is a close match, I'd be willing to buy it from you. I can't find anything this family even built around the correct time period.

Just so you all know the vendor HddSurgery has been banned from this forum as they seem intent on personal attacks toward myself and others whenever someone questions the price of their products. I've had a bit more of them than I'm willing to tolerate. I've removed all links to their...

I've got an odd case here doing something I've never seen before. It's a Toshiba MK8032GAX that sounds to be spinning up normally, but all status indicators are solid as you can see here: I can get terminal, and can do things like read MP RAM, even read the ROM code. My first thought was...

OK, so here's the terminal connection: Seems you just need to open up the correct family utility (ignoring all error messages since there's no SATA drive connected). Make sure to select "ATA/COM" as the access method. Open up a terminal window and press enter to verify that you get the ">"...

Is anyone else now getting an annoying popup in their Windows 10 taskbar advertising that Microsoft Edge is faster than Chrome? This is very annoying. If M$ keeps up this forced advertising on all computers I think business are going to start strongly wishing there was an alternative...
