Dear bro bnmand ,
Ya i have always face HDD trouble after few month using refurbished HDD , i collect from a old computer shop al their 6-10gb HDD to load in all softwares.....manage only 3 out of 10 and moreover the 3 would probraly die in few months times..hahaha...me also need new HDD that will naturally fit in on SST... but hard to get la bro...now all at least 60gb...and IDE is dieing too.... sad!
I know. That's why I want to know a good hdd, that's much cheaper than buying from Canon and actually last well. You can some IDE hdds with large capacity but the copier will only be able to use a fraction of that capacity.
guys & gals - when you clone/copy good working guide sst isnt a problem as you have copied over hdd id
If you want to do a how-to on cloning start a different thread. I asked a specific question at the start of the thread.
Here we go...Service Support Tool installed I presume! Use the Seagate Momentus 5400.3 80Gb hard drive...ST980815A...it's about 75 bucks,easy to find(on-line I found a ton of sources). I buy them locally from MicroAge. Don't get the newer 5400.6(160Gb to 1Tb I think). I am assuming that the system software for the product is registered in SST. Use Windows Explorer to find the ServTool folder..open it and open the 2200 folder(make sure you open correct one ie.2200i,2200,etc).Open the HDformat folder..remove "read only" checkmark in properties of the ift file. Open the ift file with note pad and on all of the listed drives that the HDWN starts with 'ST...copy and paste 'ST980815A over the "old" HDWN...one of them works and it will find the right one. Don't forget the " ' " at the beginning!! Change properties back to "read only". Sometimes on the way to the ift you find "0012 or 0013 or whatever "folders...just dig until you get to the ift. Reboot SST, format HD and install system software. I use Seagates on 3200's and 5000's also...excellent hard drives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not bad considering Canon wants about 400 bucks for a new one
I've heard of this drive before Canuck. Any sellers that sell internationally to Australia. I can't seem to find anywhere that has stock in Australia.
What about the higher capacity Seagate 5400.3 drives? e.g. 120GB , 160GB ST91608218A and ST9120822A
I've seen a document showing them all in this series. See http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/...100398877a.pdf
The 120GB and 160GB look easy to get in Australia. Would like to know if anyone knows if they work. I'd like to get a few hdds so I have some available when a hdd fails.
For the drive you mentioned I've been told the following works (not sure if it's this one specifically or whether they changed multiple entries and didn't realise):
HDWN 'ST980815A '
HDPI 0000000063442C00A9B21E9A01000000
FE060001003F0ABF340C000000000080
FE060B81344B0FFFFAC500800000003F
FE0610C12F10D3FF0BC400C000000030
FE06D4C13AD4FFFF954900F0AA550021
I haven't used the bigger drives in the 5400.3 series..probably would work. Like I said I just paste 'ST980815A over top the HDWN of each 'ST... drive...in your sample there was a " ' " after the last A...there shouldn't be. I do believe it is the HDPI that ends in "0021". I'm totally on the other side of the planet than you...I'm in Canada...so I don't know where to get them over there. I'll look into it...guarantee you can order it on-line somewhere
It must have been a formatting error copying it across. The ' after the A should be further to the right as it is in the ift file.Originally Posted by Canuck
u can use any 2.5" IDE harddisk for this.
I have try 160G western digital HDD-WD160BEVE-00WZT0,but fail.
