After connecting the patient Hitachi HDD to DFL-SRP firmware repair hardware, powered on, the HDD family couldn’t be detected. The engineer clicked ‘Auto Detect’ and the family was detected and then tried to read the HDD ID, the ID information was detected.

Next the engineer went to backup the firmware module-PSHT.

Next the engineer went to open the DFL-DDP data recovery program, went to set up one disk image task, set up the head map, and then run the auto virtual translator.

The engineer selected the PSHT saving path and ticked the Auto Virtual Translator and then clicked ok to start the disk image.

With the auto virtual translator solution, all the data was accessible for disk image.

Finally all lost data was back.
