Default Re: Snap 1100 with no disk found

Any disk image program that can do a RAW copy will work. IT MUST BE RAW COPY. There is NO utility that can read the snap file structure correctly. With RAW copy most all other force you to do the complete HD or only to an identical size/mfg drive. If you do not do a RAW copy some programs will init the drive, wiping every thing out.

If DD is getting error something is wrong. Either with the drive or the cmd you sent. I do not get any errors when I use DD. DD is a very powerful program, but it does not have a GUI interface.

Adaptec has no use for home users. They just want the big corp companies with deep pockets. None of the smaller units were design for service by the individual. I know of a lot of users who have dumped them due to there attitude. SnapAppliance was just the opposite, they would give any one FREE Support.
