不知道會不會問題多多?

幾年前偶學弟還搞過SPFDisk VS AMI BIOS硬寫.....:jolin:
搞到硬碟從15GB變成3TB.....:shock:
資料當然是死光啦.....分割區都重疊了.....:D

不過的確廠商會把一些大容量硬碟變成小容量出貨
尤其是舊的HDD(for OEM)
因為沒有同容量生產了
廠商會利用F/W讓容量變小
免得客戶趁機退一些小容量硬碟
換大容量回去

大家都沒在注意哦

:D :D :D

看之前文章討論結果是ghost的bug

因為ghost複製應該是先複製一份檔案配置表

再把資料寫入 之後會把複製的那份檔案配置表刪除

當然你在它複製完一份檔案配置表

立刻重開機 會留下多的一份檔案配置表

但會造成兩個檔案配置表會有兩個指向同一個位置

只要其中一個先占去了 當然另一個就不能用
我本來猜想可能性高,是因為硬碟不是說會預留空間來讓標壞軌

我看要用到那些預留空間要改韌體才有辦法吧

Unused space on hard drives recovered
Regarding article "Unused space on hard drives recovered?" at this URL.
I am the "Linux SATA guy".


First, users are usually amused to learn that the capacity of modern hard drives is _unknown_, until it goes through the factory's qualification tests. The 120GB hard drive you purchased may have been physically identical to a 250GB hard drive, but simply it only passed qualification at 120GB.

Intel does the same thing with processors. A 3.0Ghz processor may be sold as 2.4Ghz, simply because it didn't pass qualification at 3.0Ghz but did at a lower clock speed.

Second, in the ATA standard there is a feature known as the "host protected area". This area is accessible from any OS -- but it requires special ATA commands in order to make this area available to the OS.
Third, all hard drives reserve a certain amount of free space to use for reallocation of bad sectors. These "spare sectors" are free space on your drive... completely unused until your hard drive starts finding problems on the physical media.

So this is old news :) Although the host-protected area (HPA) can be used for insidious purposes such as DRM/CPRM that is completely hidden from the users, most of the "invisible free space" exists for a purpose -- either it's spare sectors for bad sector remapping, or its capacity that didn't pass factory qualification, that you don't want to use anyway.

Hi Mike,

About the "recover unused space on your drive" article:


Working for a data-recovery company I know a thing or two about harddisks....
One is that if the vendors would be able to double the capacity for just about nothing, they would.

All this probably does is to create an invailid partition table which ends up having:
|...new partition.............................
|old partition.................................|
overlapping partitions. So writing either partition will corrupt the other. It probably so happens that whatever situation people tried it, it just so happened that the (quick) format of the "new" partition didn't corrupt the other partition to make it unbootable.

And the 200G -> 510Gb "upgrade" probably has ended up with three overlapping partitions....

我個人覺得第一個人說的可以參考的地方
1. 如果INTEL可以以 3.0Ghz 的CPU來賣
他絕對不會以2.4 Ghz 來賣給客人的
為何INTEL會以 2.4Ghz 來賣給客人呢
因為這個CPU沒有通過3.0Ghz的品質管理
而只有通過2.4Ghz的品質管理

2. 之所以賣成120GB 而不是 250GB
是因為 其它超過120GB的空間是不符合250GB的品質管理
也就是說硬碟公司有測試過
然後那些多餘的空間是有問題/不穩定的空間
所以才沒釋放出來


我個人覺得第二個人說的可以參考的地方
1. 如果硬碟公司可以賣為160GB的硬碟
他們絕對不會以80GB的容量/價錢來賣給客人的
可以多賺點錢 為何不呢?
2. 把容量給變大了(比如兩倍)
是覆蓋了其它的地方
比如A覆蓋B
或B覆蓋A


不好意思
翻譯的不好
但意思到了就好~

還有其它兩段文章
但是 jason040 兄上面已經解釋很清楚了...(原理)
懶的翻譯了
說的都是為何NORTON GHOST會有這樣的現像發生
....
技術文章
自己看吧...

Commenting on an article you posted today about hidden hard drive space. It was brought to my attention from a link to it from HardOCP.

What is happening is that Norton Ghost creates a virtual partition on the drive, and the data for that virtual partition resides on one of the existing partitions. So as more data is added on the virtual partition, a file on the normal drive partition expands as well.

It's kind of like a disk image which is being mounted to a drive letter. All the data for it is still on the primary partition.

Hopefully that's clear enough to explain what is happening here. The extra virtual partition basically is defined as the amount of freespace on the partition to which the that virtual partition file actually resides.

In short: No miracle space here, don't bother the hard drives manufactures. Just using a feature in ghost in a weird way, but with no real benifits other than being able to boot a disk image without reszing all the partitions on your drive.

Peace

Matt

這樣得邏輯是說得通的....
我也贊同這樣的說法...畢竟天下沒有這麼好康的事.............

以前覺得良率的說法合理, 不過後來想想根本不通, 如果真的用良率來標示產品等級, 那除非每個生產線良率都一定, 不然某一等級不是會嚴重缺貨

這個例子並不恰當,
實際的市場情況是
就算生產線上的每一顆都通過3.0Ghz品質管理,
在沒有喊停產前,只要市場還需求2.4Ghz的cpu就得降頻賣!
這和之前AMD 1700+ 熱賣的情況類似
只要市場還有大量的需求 高階也得打成低階賣
