MRT2.3.4.1 Introduction

Preface

MRT-WH software that hard drive disk trade has been expecting to repairing WD and HITACHI2.5” HDD is now showing at the market. It is one of the few software which provided with powerful function to repair WD and HITACHI 2.5"It can rapidly improve the efficiency of maintenance work. We have devoted all our efforts of years to this software. It is remained that MRT has always been stressing the style of powerful function and easy operation. Believed that it can certainly become a great assistant of yours.

It can use in both date recovery and HDD repairingIt is used with the UDMA and PCI-PC3000 to support WD drives , It has realized peculiar way of reading and writing by modules or ROM and tracks. The procedure has designed the templates to adaptive head, It is easy to be known how to adaptive head. To generate ROM from firmware, This is not completely solved that the other software to auto modify ROM modules Adapter Parameters. MRT-HITACHI2.5” procedure provides a quick calculation of starting address of date area. It can rapidly generate adapter parameters of NV-ROM. Increased some functions of WD--DragFly1, DragFly2 and DragFly4 in MRT 2.3.4.1 version.

How to install MRT

 

1To run autorun.exe of the installing CD.

 

2Installing the "Sentinel "driver program or the "Sentinel " will be not able to work normally.

If you use Windows 2000 systemYou must install Win2000 hotfixThe second option)).

If you fail to install hotfixthen you need to install it in safe mode, Press F8 key when enter system.

3Installing VS++2008 runing database.

 

4、  Registration active procedure

 

 

Fills in the name and the registration E-mail, this is very important and cannot change, otherwise the software can not available.

To click generate registration information and send the generate file to the author.

After we accept the registration document, We will be running the opposite registration document and installing program.

 

After verificationWe will be sending you the “ Setup.rar”.

Open the “Setup.rar”To runMRT Active procedureagain.

 

 

Click “Load active files”

To startSetup.exe”,Always Click "Next" to complete the installation.

 


Software introduction

Main menu

 

Operating area introduction

preparing Condition

Description

Mrt is the professional software operating with the firmware files. Not support reading directly from the HDD firmware. It is necessary to use the other tools to read the HDD SA area data before work with the firmware. So the software can be used normally.

Procedure initialization

Description

Only by correctly initialized to make MRT enable normally work. Each of drive parameters is different. MRT can be loaded parameters and calculated correctly after right series selection.

Confirm HDD manufacturer

Each hard drive manufacturers only produces their own series .For example Western DigitalHitachi.

Confirm series

 

Each company would upgrade their products from time to time, For example WD L board and triangle board.

 

Confirm the sub-series

As the different parameters, each family has many sub-series.

 

The automatic detection will help you to search the sub-series automatically.

Confirm the access method

What firmware can you read?”,It is very important.

MRT can support both "Read from modules" and "Read from tracks".

 

You must load right tracks parameters before reading from tracks.

According to actual situation to modify the parameters.

Work with firmware

Description

The translate utility for firmware. Each firmware corresponds to its own data structures and algorithms, MRT included a number of master algorithms, it is helpful to repair the firmware by algorithms, so the way you work will be very efficient.

ROM

Distill and Unite

ROM consists of individual sub-module. The Distill is the process that get the ROM into individual sub-module, The Unite is the opposite work.

ROM tools àdistill /unite ROM

Kill head

Work with the damaged head. This can repair the hard disk, but will reduce the capacity.

Operating procedure:

modules ->kill head”,display a dialog window of kill headas follows

 

This is work for killing head 0. Click “confirm”, then write the modules of log to the HDD.

Kill sector

Work with the damaged sector.

Operating procedure:

“modules ->Edit LBA”

Display a window “LBA view” as follows:

Import beginning address of damaged LBA, Click “Kill specified LBA section”

Write the modules of log to HDD SA.

S.M.A.R.T and defects compiler

Operating procedure:

“Modules ->clear SMART/clear defects compiler”

Write the modules of log to HDD SA.

G-List and P-List

Operating procedure:

First to open P-List and G-List.

“defects function menu->view G-List/P-List”

 

The other work use “Right key menu”

 

Delete header

Edit

Head map

Intented for head map modification, you need to do the step when killed head.

Operating procedure:

“ROM tools->kill head”

 

This is to delete 5 and 6 head.

Adaptive parameter

Intented for head parameter modification.

Operating procedure:

Tools->Adaptive parameter adjusting”

Select source->Auto

Select adaptive modules.

 

Main window

Open the file, and loading adaptive data from outside, then start comparing.

Generate Fireware 

Description

Missing original disk firmware can be re-generated by software.

Generate modules table

Generated specific tracks parameter of WD HDD.

Operating procedure:

The method mostly as the Kill head method, but do not select all the head and “synchronize  ROM and SA defects”.

.

Generate ROM

Generate ROM from modules

Operating procedure:

 ROM tools->Generate ROM from modules

Result as follows:

Tracks and modules

Description

Provided changing modules of tracks , It can make the modules of damaged sector get into right sector.

Modules dir

 

Modules dir main window.

Function menu

Modules Edit

Import modules

Tools->import modules

Export modules

“Tools->export modules”

Distill from track

Write modules to tracks

Original address to write

Changing address to write

Select the track of need to change.

Changing the Micro modules address

Load backup Micro modules.

Select the tracks of need to change.

PCI-PC3000 support

Description

Resolved the problem that pci-pc3000 not support WD triangle board series.

It can be read the WD triangle board series firmware by using PCI-pc3000 with MRT.

Reading WD (triangles board) firmware by using PC3000

 Directory mode

Display the modules dir correctly by pci-pc3000

Operating procedure:

 

1Back up the second largest minus track.

2Save the showing tracks to Tracks dirnamexxxx-00.trk(“xxxx” stand for number of track)

 

Read ROM

3Distill ROM.

4Generate modules dir.

Click “confirm” twice.

 

 

5Write generated 90.rpm to -1track.

6Do not off power, reset pci-pc3000.

7Open the modules dir, PC3000 modules table can be correctly displayed.

Tracks mode

Repeat the step 1,2,3 of modules dir mode, then work as follows:

1)      Generate tracks dir.

 

Operating procedure:

The largest minus track->The second minus track->Generate->Generate list->Current using->ok” window as follows:

Write generated 90 modules to -1 track of HDD, Do not off the power, reset pc3000.

Delete all the contents of Tracks folder. back up all the modules using PC3000Save the modules to Tracks folder.

 

Set up MRTchanging modules into tracks.

Reset MRTTo select “Load 

Now the firmware can be worked as using UDMA with MRT.

Write the modules to HDD after operating modules.

 

Write the new generated track folder to the HDD.
