MHDD.CFG Edit Not Possible VIA "edit" OR "notepad" in CLI
Posted: Thu May 07, 2020 4:54 pm
I have downloaded, (MD5 and SHA1 successful) UBCD538 and have burned the .iso onto a CD-R disk, from the download page.
As I need to unlock an encrypted Seagate 2TB BUP + drive I am following: HDD -> Diagnosis -> MHDD32 v4.6
Before attempting to list the drives, these options below display:
1) Start computer with ADAPTEC SCSI adapter support
2) Start computer without SCSI support
When I select option 1 UBCD warns:
After this message, UBCD goes on to display the disk(s) however, I don't see any drives with "familiar names", I see:
When I select any one of the ports and then type "unlock" the system warns:
If i select option 2 (Start computer without SCSI support) from above, UBCD displays the same ports defined directly above and likewise I get the same results when I access any port and issue "unlock":
Additionally, UBCD warns:
Auto detect disabled see: MHDD.CFG
I CD'd into /MHDD/CFG (DIR displays the file MHDD.CFG) and using:
from the CLI in UBCD to edit MHDD.CFG, however those commands are not recognized. I located in one forum topic pertaining to MHDD.CFG and it was mentioned that MHDD.CFG could be edited under Windows, only I am unable to locate the directory /CFG let alone the file MHDD.CFG in Windows for some reason.
When in Windows viewing the UBCD disk I see:
What am I missing, how should I edit MHDD.CFG to get it to recognize the drive?
Also, with respect to the SCSI option(s) [1 & 2] is there some documentation I could be pointed to to help me resolve this issue?
