1G/2G/3G Classic HDD-layout
I'm pretty certain there is a HPA/DCO on those drives, and that ATA pw is set .
- There definitely is no ATA password, and I don't know of an HPA. I'm not even sure if the CE-ATA drive supports HPAs. The hiding of the firmware partition is most likely done by the iPod firmware. --TheSeven 20:04, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
How ? Isn't that pretty much what HPA/DCO's where created for ? Have you verified if there is a HPA/DCO or not ?
( I don't have the setup to do it myself atm. Also, I don't know of any tools that reliably can detect a HPA/DCO over a USB-connection ?)
I see posts on the internets suggesting there IS in fact a HPA/DCO, at least on some models .. http://forum.hddguru.com/toshiba-apple-ipod-protected-harddrives-t10669-40.html (Yes, it's for the 5G, I know, but there has to be a reason that you can't just transplant any HDD with the right interface you like, to an ipod, right ? (And there's only one ipod using CE-ATA AFAIK) ?)
Also, when viewing the physical disk of my emCore'd Classic in win-hex (over USB) there is a 120MB entry,listed as "FAT1",
and the technical report complains that " FAT1 < FAT2 " . But the disk needs to be connected to a proper controller for any accurate results ..
- emCORE/Rockbox is a proper controller for that kind of operation. And WinHEX has a lot of problems with non-512 byte sectors, causing it to miscalculate a bunch of sector numbers. --TheSeven 20:04, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
Or maybe the numbers don't add up because the HPA is there and thus the numbers reported are faked ?
