This program can be downloaded for Windows as a portable program or as a regular program with a normal installer. GSmartControl runs three self-tests to find drive faults: Short Self-test takes around 2 minutes to complete and is used to detect a completely damaged hard drive, Extended Self-test takes 70 minutes to finish and examines the entire surface of a hard drive to find faults, and Conveyance Self-test is a 5-minute test that's supposed to find damages that occurred during the transporting of a drive. View and save SMART attribute values like the power cycle count, multi-zone error rate, calibration retry count, and many others.
GSmartControl can run various hard drive tests with detailed results and give an overall health assessment of a drive. When exporting information, it includes everything, not just a specific result you want to save Let’ say that the disk "thinks " it was cut to the actual wrong size, just increase the size to the original one with uncut command, or “cut” it to the original size Save and exit.Doesn't support every USB and RAID device In the worst case scenario, there is another command that cuts and one that uncuts the hard disk size. Save, reboot and create a new GPT partition table. Now, IF the disk was seen and detected, firmaware was read and hiddend settings aswell. Now there is one command that restores the original size, cylinders and all settings as the manufacturer intended, Those are stored in the system area, the first block from the outer egde of the spinning platter.
Now, to be sure, press F1 and a list of commands with a short explanation will be displayed. Once the MHD sees the disk, press the number of that port (0 to number of existent SATA ports). If you don’t see it listed, change the SATA port and play with IDE or SATA in motherboard’s BIOS. It will ask you what interface is where the drive is connected. USB WILL NOT work, as USB is emulating protocol/interface so it will fail.īoot the computer with the bootable MHDD medium, start and choose MHDD.
The following is just a as-is guide.Ĭonnect the 10 TB HDD on the motherboard with a solid S-ATA cable.
i’ll explain later.Ĭreate a bootable medium with Parted Magic or Hiren’s Boot. Older motherboard with the possibility of choosing IDE or SATA.
