HDAT2 (ALL-IN-ONE BOOT Version) - is program for test or diagnostics of ATA/ATAPI/SATA, SSD and SCSI/USB devices.It will not execute in a DOS session under Windows. You should make a DOS boot floppy disk or CD/DVD and boot your system for it and execute this program from that floppy disk or CD-ROM. HDAT2 program has 2 levels: Device testing - main function is testing and repair (to regenerate) bad sectors for detected devices - you get much information about detected devices File system testing - read/find/check items (MBR, boot, directories, etc.) of file system FAT12/16/32 - check/remove (regenerates) bad sectors records, flags in FAT table Features • fully implemented commands: SET MAX, SET SECURITY, Device Configuration Overlay (DCO) • device access with interrupt 13h, direct via ATA ports, with ASPI drivers • detects ATA/ATAPI/SATA devices with on-board and add-on controllers • detects devices on AHCI/RAID controllers (just only on ports 0-3) • detects USB devices via USB ASPI driver or BIOS (if supported) • detects SCSI hard drives via BIOS interrupt 13h or ASPI drivers • other SCSI devices are detected via ASPI drivers only (must be loaded before); • with ASPI drivers you will get more information about SCSI devices • test and repair device for bad sectors (so far version 4.5.3 only) • many different test-functions for hard drives • resize hard drives which supports SET MAX ADDRESS/EXT • (supports 28/48-bits LBA addressing modes) • drive lock detection via security feature (Security Menu) • S.M.A.R.T. functions for ATA/SATA and SCSI drives only • information about devices (ATA/ATAPI, BIOS interrupt 13h, ASPI, EDD) • sector viewer for devices (also for USB, ZIP, CD-data discs) • to access ATA/SATA CD/DVD drive you don't need any driver or MSCDEX • enable/disable some features for direct-access devices • Device Configuration Overlay (DCO) feature set • (you can restore a full capacity or allow/disallow some feature sets of hard drive) Known limitations: • change SATA controller in BIOS from AHCI to IDE/ATA/legacy mode • devices SATA/AHCI/RAID detect on ports 0-3 only Download: HDAT2.v7.5.rar - 6.9 MB
