any trick for getting usb into safemode quickly
Posted: 04.04.14, 02:48
How can I get a usb drive into safe mode so that I can read the rom and access the sa through the term port.
I often get usb drives that are crashing.
They take forever to get to the point where they will respond to the terminal.
What I want to do is set a jumper to make them go immediately into safemode and not
grind the heads into the platters for 10 minutes until they give up.
I have tried bare board
I have tried lifting the head
I have tried lifting the motor
In all these cases the blinky light just blinks forever and you can never get terminal.
The best luck I have had is by putting the usb board on a sata drive - then it goes into safe mode quickly and doesnt
grind the patient to dust.
