The menu contains features for operations with the HDD service information:
♦
reading modules
♦
writing modules
♦
reading System Files
♦

♦
operations with the translator – recalculation, restoration, position correction for an individual LBA
♦
HDD ID editing
♦
password resetting
Menu items for reading and writing of modules / System Files allow you to read / record modules / System Files
respectively using the structure of HDD profiles and the product database. The menu for operations with translator
allows recalculating the translator via ATA based on P-List or taking certain steps for its restoration. For details on the
translator restoration modes please refer to
section 5.5, Host system detects a HDD, drive beginning is visible but
starting with a certain LBA continuous space until the end is filled with UNC errors.
HDD ID editing allows you to modify some parameters affecting the drive operation
. In particular, the dialog allows
the operator to disable Offline scan known earlier for its connection with the Pending Bug manifestation. In addition,
disabling of the options pertaining to Autoreassign and Deferred defect hiding allows you to prevent a HDD from
switching to ABRT condition in case of its unstable operation. The condition is manifested as follows: HDD reads until
a certain location is reached and then responds to any command with ABRT until power is switched, after which
continues standard functioning for a while and then switches to the ABRT state again. The option to 'Switch HDD
power supply OFF/ON before saving' allows the operator to bypass HDD freeze in cases of Pending Bug right after the
drive's power supply is turned on. In that case a few commands sent immediately after the power is switched on may
"pass", then the HDD freezes. Additional power switching allows the utility to overwrite the drive configuration
module before the freeze.

Password resetting allows you to unlock a password-protected HDD. Due to the progress of the solutions for individual
data protection, HDD manufacturers tend to be using more sophisticated schemes of drive initialization preventing

Resulting changes will be saved in the service area and the new settings will become effective after the HDD power
supply is toggled, provided that the corresponding configuration modules have not been corrupted in the process of
recording.
