scottminor Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Anybody have any suggestions? I am desperate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Anybody have any suggestions? I am desperate. Is the drive connected via IDE? Is the drive connected to the IDE correctly? Did you connect the drive to IDE 'incorrectly' and power it up (this can short the board on the drive)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottminor Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I have tried several IDE cables and even purchased a seperate IDE card yesterday. The only thing I can think of is that I am not using a dual IDE controller. The card from yesterday was a single and my motherboard is a single port IDE. I am going to make a trip today to return the card and see if I can find a dual channel IDE card. That is the only thing I can think of. The 2 disk unlock utilities listed in the instructions of the thread see the drive, they just can't do anything with it. Â As for the drive itself, I can see it under MHDD using the EID command. When I try to run the config command I get a DCO Itentity Checksum Error. I also can boot into Linux and I used HDPARM and the drive shows that it is healthy, but it is locked. Â I really appreciate your help on this. I hope that when we solve this mystery that the thread will help others that encounter this. Â Thanks again, Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scottminor Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Garret, Â I think I understand the problem. My motherboard has an onboard SATA RAID controller. I am trying to find a friend with an older PC that still has and IDE port on it. Â Scott Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ozone777 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 I have an AVIC Z2 with a Z3 image from 2008 (03.0000), installed on an aftermarket previously unlocked drive. I can't remember if I removed security back when I first unlocked/imaged the drive...but I'm pretty sure I did. Â What is the specific procedure for upgrading a previously upgraded-unlocked-security-removed drive to the 2010 firmware? Can I do it without losing my existing data?

ozone777 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 See the 2nd post in this sticky thread... Â Yeah, I already found what I needed after going through the thread multiple times and piecing together the info. Hopefully, what I've gathered is correct and complete...I'll find out soon enough. Â Being in the tech support biz, I realize that sometimes it's difficult to put yourself in the uneducated guy's shoes when you already have all the answers. I mean, geeze! You already did all the hard work involved in obtaining the knowledge...why can't everyone else do the work as well?! Â Maybe that's why some of us are teachers and some of us are students. And all teachers are students at some point in their existence. Â Anyway...thanks for all your hard work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
logray Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 ...My old instructions using Acronis True Image Home 10.0 (this is the version that I use):Download my PDF Upgrade instructions to save your personal data: http://www.avic411.com/forum/download/file.php?id=8291... Sorry if this has been answered before, but from the second post in this thread, when I try to download the above link it appears to be dead. TIA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
