At the start the utility displays its drive family selection dialog with the pointer positioned over the family, to which the
HDD being tested belongs. You can modify the choice manually if automatic drive detection fails.
If the connected HDD is not present in the list of available drives, you can specify a previously saved configuration under
the «Select» option. Doing so activates the model selection field. The procedure required for creation of a new
configuration is described in section 4.3.
After the «Utility start» button is pressed, the utility reads HDD ID, zone allocation table, identifies the number of defects
in G-List and the list of available CP.
Sample log record after these checks:
Techno On............................... : Ok
Zone table.............................. : Ok

Model................................... : MG03ACA400
Microcode............................... : FL001A1E
Defects in G-List....................... : 0
CP Avalable............................. :
Fig. 4.2.
When an existing record is highlighted with the pointer, the «Editing» and «Deleting» buttons become active; they allow
modification of the selected record or its removal.
To create a custom HDD type, the «Adding» button should be pressed. Then the following dialog appears:
Fig. 4.3.
Correct utility operation requires a list of CP and their size; you also need to know the structure of the zones table (8 or 12 bytes).
HDD or drive family name is entered in the «Name» field. The structure or the zone allocation table (8 or 12 bytes)
should be selected in the «Zone table type» field.
You can obtain CP list by pressing the «Load from HDD» button. Almost all CP have the size of 1 sector except for CP
AA, BB and DD, which may take up 3, 4 or 16, and 16 or 32 sectors respectively. You can use the form to add new CP or
modify existing ones by pressing the «Adding» or «Editing» buttons. After pressing the ОК button the new HDD type
will be created in the «Supported families» field of the «Utility selection» menu.
Custom configurations are stored in the «Toshiba.ini» configuration file located in Toshiba utility profile –
«\!Profiles\Toshiba\».

Here you can also select the 'Data access mode' in the corresponding field, if it is accessible: ATA or ATA/COM. As of
the time of this publication, ATA is the preferred mode, the second method is no longer practically expedient but still can
be used as an alternative for the first one.
Fig. 4.5.
If you backup new data to a folder used for that purpose earlier, previously recorded data will be replaced with the new files.
Fig. 4.6.
In the dialog you should select the CP for saving and the target location: HDD profile folder or database. You can
select configuration pages manually or using the group operations menu, which appears after right-clicking the area, or
use a hot key combination.
The «Mode» menu offers the following commands for test process control:
Fig. 4.7.
Use the dialog to select the necessary configuration pages from the list of available ones. You can select the
required CP for recording manually or using the group operations menu, which appears after right -clicking the area,
or use a hot key combination.
The «Mode» menu offers the following commands for test process control:
Fig. 4.8.
Fig. 4.9.
Fig. 4.10.
Here you can select the initial and final address of the ROM area to examine and its size in bytes.
The utility establishes 9600bps as the connection speed automatically at the start. ROM reading at such rate is rather slow.
To speed up the process, COM port rate can be increased, see section 4.4.2.2.14, Set COM port data transfer rate.
Fig. 4.11.
In the «Reading service tracks» dialog you should select the track and head number and the location for saving: HDD
profile folder or database. You can select tracks manually or using the group operations menu, which appears after right-
clicking the area, or use a hot key combination.
The number of service tracks in Toshiba HDD is 32 but many of them in fact are completely or partially unformatted. By
default the utility selects tracks 2, 21, and 27 only as they contain the most essential data. Since service information is
usually recorded using heads 0 and 1 only, so only those two heads are checked, the rest are disabled. However, you can
select manually other tracks and heads to attempt reading as well.
Many sectors demonstrate unstable reading although they actually contain data. To ensure retrieval of all tracks that can be
read, the utility reads each sector several times in accordance with the number of attempts specified in the «Reading error
retry counter» field. If the utility reads a sector without errors, it proceeds to the next one, and it retries reading if an error has
occurred. To read all sectors, you may often have to set the number of attempts to 20-30. The default value is 10.
«Display error messages» – when enabled, the field makes the utility output to log all notifications about reading errors.
In most cases there is no such need, and so the checkbox is disabled by default. The utility then logs the total number of
sectors, which could not be read.
The «Mode» menu offers the following commands for test process control:
Interrupt – Terminates the reading process
Skip – Skips reading of current track
Fig. 4.12.
Use the dialog to select the necessary tracks from the list of available ones. You can select the required tracks for
recording manually or using the group operations menu, which appears after right-clicking the area, or use a hot key
combination. The utility will perform writing using the heads indicated in file names.
The «Mode» menu offers the following commands for test process control:
Interrupt – Terminates the test procedure.
S.M.A.R.T. ON/OFF – the setting enables/disables S.M.A.R.T. functionality. Current value appears in the "SMART
Feature Set” line of the HDD ID.
ECC error ignore mode ON/OFF – the setting enables/disables reaction to ECC errors.
Fig. 4.13.
In the HDD ID you can modify the name of the vendor, model, its serial number and logical parameters of the HDD.
After you modify any of the settings and click OK, the data will be automatically written to the HDD ROM.
Attention! HDD ID editing works for PATA and SATA HDD before 52GSX only! It also works for a new drives starting
from 55GSX, but it works until power swithing. After power on there will be no data access.
displays the menu where you can select the rate of data exchange via the COM port (terminal):
Fig. 4.14.
The utility saves CP to its database as soon as you press the OK button.
Fig. 4.15.
Fig. 4.16.
Enabling the 'Save defects' checkbox configures the utility to write the found defects to a file. If testing reveals defective
sectors, then after test completion or termination the utility will display the corresponding dialog, Fig. 4.17. Affirmative
response to the question will bring up the next dialog similar to the one in Fig. 4.18.
Fig. 4.17.
Fig. 4.18.
In this dialog you can select relocation using P-List or G-List. Clicking the 'Show defects' button opens the defects editor
window, which can be used to modify the list of defects. As soon as you click the OK button, the utility reassigns the
defects using the selected list of defects.
Fig. 4.19.
Fig. 4.20.
Fig. 4.21.
If surface scan reveals 2 single defects or 2 groups of close defective sectors, the sectors between them are very likely to
demonstrate unstable reading. To exclude new defects in this area, you can combine these 2 groups of defective sectors in
a continuous group of defects while generating the list of defects. This can be accomplished in the “Close defects joining
parameters” dialog:
Fig. 4.22.
Here you can select the multiplier for the number of defects, in the sample figure it is set to 3. The size of the continuous
group of defects is calculated using the following formula:
((num1 + num2) × 3) > span
where:
num1 - the number of sectors in the first group of defects;
num2 - the number of sectors in the second group of defects;
(num1 + num2) - the “Summary size of joined defects” setting;
span - the number of sectors between two groups of defects (“defects gap”).
4.4.4.1.1. P-List
The menu item opens a standard file selection dialog where you can specify the P-List file (the default name is
“Plist.chs”). After selection the utility reads P-List and saves the file to HDD profile. Then it opens the defects editor
window where you can view and modify the list of defects deleting and editing records, adding sectors or their groups,
and group defects. Then you can write the modified list to HDD. Changes in P-List become effective immediately after
recording. The commands for defect list management are available in the context menu that appears after right-clicking in
the defects editor window. Essential functions can also be invoked with the toolbar buttons of the defects editor.
Add (Ins). Here you can add a range of sectors in PBA or LBA format and an earlier saved list of LBA or
PBA defects in G-List(*.lba) or P-List(*.chs) format respectively (Fig. 4.23). When a list is selected, the
“Show defects” button becomes accessible. Clicking it opens the defects editor window where you can
review or edit the list.
Fig. 4.23.
Edit (F2). Selection of a defect in the defects editor window makes available the “Edit” button.
Clicking it opens the “Defect editing” window, Fig. 4.24.
Fig. 4.24.
Editing is possible in the PBA format used to store defects in P-List. Here you have to specify the initial PBA for a
group of defects corresponding to a cylinder, head, sector displayed in the corresponding fields, and the count of
defects in the group.
Clicking the defect “expansion” button to the right of the PBA field opens a context menu, Fig. 4.25. You can use the
menu to select the number of sectors that will be used before the initial PBA and after the last PBA in the group.
Fig. 4.25.
Clicking the “Geometry” button opens the window reflecting head-based distribution of defects in this particular group of
defects (Fig. 4.26.). Here you can remove selected defects from the group. This opportunity may be useful, for example,
when you need to leave just the defects corresponding to a specific head.
Fig. 4.26.
Another group of features for defect list management accessible from the context menu can also be invoked with a toolbar
button:
4.4.4.2.1. P-List
Selection of that menu item brings up a dialog where you can confirm P-List clearing. If you confirm the operation, the
utility will reset P-List and write it to HDD.
Attention! The operation is only used for examination or repair, not for data recovery. After P-List clearing, data will
still be accessible but with a translator shift beginning with the first defect that used to be hidden in P-List.
Clearing the defects list may cause previously hidden defects to reappear; therefore after that you will have to perform
recording and verification of the entire surface, and hide revealed defects using P-List or G-List.
4.4.4.2.2. G-List
G-List clearing is essentially a counterpart of the operation typically known as “translator regeneration”. While clearing
the G-List, the utility also checks the P-List structure. Therefore, if P-List contains logical corruption or if it is
unreadable, G-List clearing will complete with an error.
Selection of that menu item brings up a dialog where you can confirm G-List clearing. If you confirm the operation, the
utility will reset G-List and write it to HDD.
Clearing the defects list may cause previously hidden defects to reappear; therefore after that you will have to perform
surface scanning and hide revealed defects.
Fig. 4.27.
If you confirm the operation, the utility will read the defects from G-List and write them to P-List. G-List will be cleared
after successful recording.
Fig. 4.28.
In the “LBA to CHS” dialog you can select the initial and final LBA of the conversion range as well as the conversion step,
which represents the LBA increment that will be used for conversion. E.g., if you select initial LBA = 0, final LBA = 30, and
conversion step = 10, then the log will contain the following result of conversion for LBA = 0, 10, 20, 30.
The “Mode” menu offers the following commands for test process control:
5. Utility extension
The 'Tools → Utility extensions' menu provides access to features specific for the Toshiba utility only:
Fig. 5.1.
Fig. 5.2.
Here you can choose the necessary CP for further editing (Fig. 5.2). After selection of the required CP in the hex editor
window you can review, edit, save the data to HDD or to a module file, and recalculate its checksum.
Modules referred to in the utility as configuration pages (CP) are stored in ROM (except for DD). These modules contain
HDD ID, P-List, and different adjustment (adaptive) data specific for each individual HDD. Most CP occupy 1 sector or
less; their byte checksum (CS) is appended to module end. The last non-zero byte of any CP is its CS. Just a few CP take
more than 1 sector. In PATA HDD these are AA, BB, and DD. In SATA HDD a few more CP are larger than 1 sector.
CP set and their sizes vary among different drive families.
CP size is determined at utility launch. For drive families that are not included into the startup menu, CP size and
structure can be corrected when you select an available configuration (created earlier) or create a new one, please refer to
section 4.1, Launching the utility. Toshiba HDD have no modules table. Therefore, when a new configuration is created,
the utility reads all CP in the 0-FF range and adds to the list those configuration pages, which have been read
successfully. Their size is assumed to be equal to 1 sector. CP size can be corrected.
Selection of the 'Plug-ins' menu item from the dropdown menu displayed after right-clicking within the hex editor
window allows the following CS processing methods:
9A - serial numbers.
111101
011
DDh - P-List, it is stored on disk surface within service track 1 of SATA drives and service track 2 of PATA
11
1
drives.
5.2.1. CP tab
In the 'Available CP' field you can select a CP that you need to edit.
Fig. 5.3.
After selection of the required CP in the hex editor window you can review, edit, save the data to HDD or to a module
file, and recalculate its checksum.
This item is identical to the „CP Directory‟ (see section 5.1).
Fig. 5.4.
Fig. 5.5.
Fig. 5.6.
This window allows to perform group operations hiding large surface areas in P-List.
Disabling of individual heads and zones in the 'Zones and heads inactivation' form can be invoked from the shortcut menu
displayed after right-clicking the workspace.
Fig. 5.7.
It contains all possible methods for selection of the ranges to be hidden via the P-List. You can choose an LBA or PBA
range, load a scanned or previously created LBA or PBA list, mark all zones belonging to a target head (deactivate a
head), mark the necessary zones corresponding to the selected heads. The form allows manual selection of the required
microzones. Recording of the selected defects is performed upon selection of the 'Apply table' command in the menu or
the corresponding toolbar button in the same window. Prior to P-List recording, the utility saves CP 56 and DD in the
ZoneBackup\YY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS folder to allow a roll-back to the original HDD state. YY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS
– the name of the created subdirectory will contain the year, month, day, hour, time and second when CP 56 and DD have
been saved.
Bottom line of the window below the log pane contains 3 values. The first one represents total number of microzones, the
second - the number of selected microzones, the third reflects the number of PBA in the selected microzones. The fourth
'P-List capacity‟ field contains the maximum number of defect records in P-List.
Fig. 6.1.
We should note that enabled CSEL signal will not affect operation of all other HDD.
Electronic boards of Toshiba HDD have two safety fuzes. They are marked as FUZE in PCB layout schemes. They burn
out very frequently, although the electronics remains undamaged. You will have to set jumpers instead of the burnt fuzes.
The role of the protective device in that case will be played by the fuze present on PC-2” adapter.
After data retrieval HDD operation cannot be guaranteed but in some cases such HDD work quite long.
If heating does not help, you can attempt spinning up the spindle manually. To do that, insert into a portable drill a
screwdriver bit for the screw that fixes the platters, remove the HDA cover, insert the screwdriver into the slot of the
screw cap and try to spin up the platters rotating them in alternate directions in turns. Please exercise caution during the
procedure to avoid screwdriver sliding to platter surface. In some cases such polishing of the motor shaft after quite long
rotation removes burrs and then the spindle begins to rotate.
If the methods used to release the spindle do not work, you can access user data replacing the platters together with drive
heads and PCB to another HDD. You will need the same donor drive. Disks in Toshiba HDD can be replaced quite easily
with minimal alignment required. If there are two platters, then their relative positioning should be preserved, but small
shifts do not affect the possibility of data recovery in most cases.
Operations with open HDA should be performed in a special clean room because dust particles inside the case certainly
will not increase HDD reliability or extend its life.
1) Start the Toshiba utility for the drive containing the data to be recovered.
2) Launch Data Extractor in data copy creation mode and select the HDD as the source.
3) Use the “Settings” → “Task options” → “Command to read” tab to select the command to “Read from
active PC-3000 Utility”. In the displayed dialog, select “PBA access (solve G-List damage)”:
Fig. 6.2.
6.10. Work with HDD models using several logical sectors per single
physical one
A few Toshiba drive families have sector arrangement based on 2 or 8 logical sectors within a single physical one. When
you launch the universal utility or Toshiba utility, it outputs the following warning to the log:
Attention! Physical sector of the HDD contains 8 logical sectors.
Please keep in mind that the 59GSX drive family using 8-sector format supports reading any number of sectors with a
single operation. 10GAH and 31GAL drive families using 2- and 8-sector formats respectively support reading just the
number of sectors divisible by 2 or 8. As a result, while viewing the sectors in the sector editor (which reads one sector at
a time), each read operation causes an error creating impression of a malfunctioning drive. During all sequential reading
procedures manipulating by default portions consisting of 256 sectors (i.e. the number divisible by 2 and 8), the program
switches to reading sectors one at a time whenever it encounters an error. In such cases all subsequent sectors will be read
with an error even if no actual errors occur.
To avoid that obstacle, open the “Read/write options” in the sector editor of the Toshiba utility by clicking the
corresponding toolbar button, select the option to “Use the utility” in the “Read options” dialog and click ОК. The
following dialog will appear:
Fig. 6.3.
Recording of service tracks, when necessary, is performed in accordance with the map of retrieved sectors and only to the
sectors marked as readable.
6.12. Peculiarities of data recovery from 1.8" HDD of the 10GAH family
1.8" HDD of the 10GAH drive family are manufactured for Apple, which uses them in iPod players. To write data to iPod
with PC-compatible firmware, FAT32 file system is used. iPods with MAC-compatible firmware use the HFS file
system. Data reading and writing in the 10GAH drive family has a peculiarity: both reading and writing operations can
only be performed with an even number of LBA. Therefore, for data recovery from drives belonging to this family a Data
Extractor plug-in using the features of the Toshiba utility has been developed. To recover data from a HDD with the
FAT32 file system:
1) Start the Toshiba utility. Displayed “Utility start” dialog will automatically have its focus on the 10GAH drive
family. Click ОК. If the utility starts successfully, the following information will be output to log:
The utility supports for this family password removal, CP reading and recording, clearing of G-List and S.M.A.R.T.,
HDD ID editing.
4) Once the main Data Extractor window opens use the “Command to read” tab of the task settings to select “Read
from active PC-3000 Utility”. In the displayed dialog, select the option to “Take into account “Logical sectors per
physical sector” and set UDMA33 mode. Click Apply to make the changes effective.
5) Open the Explorer and use the mouse to select PC3000 ATA0 in its Folders window. Right-click the selection to
open the context menu and proceed to “Add virtual partition”. In the displayed dialog, specify the settings as shown in
Fig. 6.4. The “Final LBA” field value will depend on the drive capacity. The value in the figure is for the
MK8010GAH model. Click OK.
