So i am not sure if i can recover the original 320gb.I've just helped the OP in the following thread clone a Hitachi drive to a WD using HDDHackr:The clone was successful. He now has a 500GB WD drive that identifies itself with the same model, firmware, serial number and capacity as the original 250GB Hitachi drive.Your WD3200BEVT drive and 250GB HDDSS.bin file should suffice for our purposes.If you choose to go ahead, I would need to see the Identify Device information for your source and destination drives. You could use CrystalDiskInfo:First go to Edit - Copy Option and select Identify Device.
Then go to Edit - Copy. This will copy the disk information to the clipboard. Then open up NotePad or whichever word processor ships with your version of Windows, and choose Edit - Paste (or Ctrl-V) to input the clipboard data.

The firmware version is the same but the rom chip is a winbond and the original is an ST.
I think it worst case senerio i would just have to reprogram it if it has some sort of crc. What do you guys think?I think it would be advisable to backup the ROM, given the circumstances. That is, since you can't backup your drive, you may as well prepare yourself for a data recovery should the need arise.
You must not damage the ROM, though.I've had a look at some Toshiba resource dumps and ISTM that the ROM is comprised of several configuration pages (CPs?). Each CP appears to have its own 8-bit CRC byte. To assist us in understanding the CRC, you could enable PUIS (Power Up In Standby) and examine the ROM contents before and after. The difference should be in the PUIS flag and a corresponding CRC byte.There appear to be two serial numbers. One is reported via an ATA Identify Device command (CP56) whereas the other (CP9A) is probably only accessible via a Vendor Specific Command (VSC). As Spildit has suggested, it seems unlikely, but not impossible, that a VSC would be used by the OEM.If the bad sectors are 'fake', then you may be able to read them with an ATA READ LONG or SCT READ LONG command.
Yes I used Acronis TI 2014 rescue cd to do a sector by sector clone.There are a few partitions that are Bitlocked so sector by sector is a must.I obtained the Bitlocker unlock keys so i know the cloned data must be good or i dont think they would unlock.During the clone process there were 4 bad sectors Acronis ignored. Location was214,872,205221,078,858221,078,859221,078,860Can you please explain the reason you do not think dumping the rom chip and editing the serial number will work? I am not talking about swapping the rom chips, just changing the serial number on the spare drive to match the original. I do not understand the limitations to know why this could not work.I started my post before fzabkar replied. Thanks for that detailed info.
If editing the serial number on the Western Digital drive didn't work (at least you say the software still doesn't run) then it's quite obviouse that changing the serial number on the other drive will not work either and that is, if you figure out how to re-calculate the ROM CRC and if the Serial is just stored on the ROM. With that in mind if you edit the serial on ROM the CRC will not match and the drive will not spin at all. If you re-calculate the CRC there is a big chance that there is another copy of the serial. ON THE PLATTERS. That will not match the one on the ROM. You get the idea. And even if you were able to do all of that.
Why do you think that would work? Spildit,Changing the serial, fw version, and make/model that fzbarkar helped me with (thanks fzabkar) Got me past the initial error. But right toward the end of the software loading it hangs at a specific screen.
After awhile it eventually does a shutdown and upon a reboot, it does some strange thing where a loading screen is just an empty background screen. Pcmmc software download. Whats even more strange is I am able to get into explorer and all the partitions are unlocked. Whats even more strange is if i use a different hard drive the loading screen is displayed and loads up to about 99% but throws a critical error at about 10% but contines to load.
But if i trigger explorer the partitions are locked.I think the hddss.bin fzabkar edited got me past the first check but i noticed in HxD the edited hdss.bin has the serial and firmware version joined together where the original looks to have bytes inbetween them. I dont know if that was intentional or not. Get something that display S.M.A.R.T. Of the original drive and check how many relocated sectores there are, if it states just a few then iI would try a READ long on those:214,872,205221,078,858221,078,859221,078,860That is because your imaging software is picking those as 'bad' or with error and they would normal be either relocated or pending relocation. Unless the G-List is full.

So if you have few relocated sectors there is a big chance that those sectors are 'FAKE' bad sectors hidden data that is used by the locked software.You can't clone those sectors (you get error) but they could have data that your locked app can be using to confirm if it was moved (or not) to another drive with the same serial number.
