Hard drive larger then 120GB question
ssome wrote:
The next logical step was to see if the WD s/w for 137GB will work on other mfgrs HDs. i tried it on a Maxtor 30 GB HD by partitioning it into 2 parts. It worked. It did give a disclaimer about a diff mfgr when i selected the HD to be worked on. The software in question is usually some version of On Track's Disk Manager that has been customized for a given manufacturer's drives. I have some Samsung 160 gb sata drives, and the WD or Seagate versions of Disk Manager (AKA Disc Wizard) refused to work with the Samsung drives. Seems that Maxtor was merged/bought by Seagate. Which means that the Seagate Disc Wizard would probably work on large Maxtor drives. For $60, you can buy the real thing (for use on any drive) http://www.ontrackdatarecovery.com/h...skmanager.aspx Probably available on a torrent too. |
