Re: Learning ASM
I think that a knowledge of ASM would be useful in data recovery. In my case, I learned Motorola 6800 assembler at university. For my second data recovery case in the 1980s, I wrote a tiny routine in Data General machine code to scan a Control Data HDD for directory sectors. These days some of my Fr...

Re: Kahuna_5400 ST500LM000
Would you indulge my curiosity by uploading your LIM2 ROM and some other ROM? ISTR there are a couple of ROM segments at the end of the ROM which are modified during normal operation. Perhaps you could clear those segments?

Re: SpinRite
S.G. obviously has no practical knowledge of the inner workings of hard drives. I'm only an observer, but I at least understand that headstack replacement is the solution in 99% of cases where there is difficulty in reading the data (aside from media damage or SA corruption). Sadly, he is trying to ...

Re: VirusTotal: Malware or False Positive?
Waqas Ali is a forum member at HDD Guru.

Re: Data Recovery Lab Sticker Labels
Does this problem arise because the client has taken their drive to a place like Geek Squad who then send it away to an undisclosed DR shop? Otherwise it would be just a matter of asking the client ...
