Anyone successfully clone a Designjet hard drive?

Re: Anyone successfully clone a Designjet hard drive?

Hi All

This is a very informative thread. Than you for keeping these old horses alive. I have a designjet 1055cm plus I am trying to resurrect. I replaced the drive years ago and forgot how I did it. The drive appears to be working but I wanted to clone it just in case of failure. It has been about 8 years. I am having trouble trying to burn an image but am still trying. Does anyone have any tips for cloning? I am using an ide to usb adapter in clonezilla but I am having issues with copying an image of to a file. I only have 1 ide adapter so I can't try disk to disk. Even better, would someone have an image from a 1050 / 1055 hard drive? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work.

Thanx
Craig

It is a very old method but if you can get a utility that can do absolute sector copying it is possible. I used to use Norton Utilities under DOS.

Re: Anyone successfully clone a Designjet hard drive?

Hello! Sorry for reviving an old thread but i have a Designjet T975 with a hard drive making sounds and giving me 08.11 error. Does anyone have an image for this?

Edit: After hooking up the drive to a pc for cloning attempts its asking for a password as you guys have mentioned already, but where can i find one for that model?

Re: Anyone successfully clone a Designjet hard drive?

Re: Anyone successfully clone a Designjet hard drive?

Sure will do, i have not tested it yet i didn't plug the machine in.

The machine is now put away in stock -
the hdd copy is done on acronis true image.

for other machines i think they need a certain boot partition then have the firmware on the usb to do a firmware update or see if the eeprom reset can be done.

Got it. This is one of the reasons I use a dock or clonezilla--a dock gets every single bit off the drive whereas software typically won't. This can sometimes mean the difference between working or not working when you put it in the machine.

Re: Anyone successfully clone a Designjet hard drive?

Hi - i have managed to copy the hdd for a z5600 that's new. - there's lots of partitions named ex3- 1-3 - ect..

in the folder i found PUMA_01_03_00.1.unsigned.fmw.sig - - this is the signature file .
is this possibly be the first firmware this machine was shipped with
if anyone want me to find certain files or folders on the hdd -

Be sure to keep a copy of that drive image if someone needs it.
