Clearing black blocks from DE project bitmap

[odedshankar]

Hi Guys,

I have a complex case where i am using smart hot swap and i manage to get access to the data and running an image.
Sometimes the disk is restarting even it is not suppose to as i configured only software reset on error, but when it happens, the drive restart without its native PCB and the in DE i get many black blocks until i stop the image process, re-do the hotswap process and continue imaging, but the black block are not retried for imaging.
My question is how do i clear black blocks from the imaging project bitmap to be able to re-try these black blocks?

also how can i configure the DE not to repower the drive, just software reset?

Please advise,
Cheers

Select "Service -> Clear Map ->" then select the blocks you want to clear and press apply.

Will take several seconds to several minutes depending on the size of your drive.

Also you can remove flag "Skip sectors at loss of readiness" in DE parameters when you will rewrite black blocks
