don't use ntfs2dos, use a fat32 HD or floppy drive instead.

Yes.  Goto http://www.bootdisk.com and download a DOS boot disk.

Hmmm, well I have a similar problem to jurulz. However I am booting using a USB Flash disk, which is setup as FAT32. It boots up fine and locates the drive, but after entering the command MTKFLASH R /M Orig.bin it asks me, correctly, which drive - so SEC MASTER and then proceeds to do the imaing (or appears too) I leave it to it's devices and eventually get tired and press esc.

status = 51, should be 70

What the hell does this mean, and why can't I make an image of my damn drive Angry

Any suggestions appreciated!

it means your chipset isn't supported by mtkflash and you may have to hexedit the needed values into it.

Hi Guy's

Having a similar problem trying to read the drive.
Booting from Floppy .OK
Using A SiL 3114 SATA Card...... (3112 say cant do IDE Flash)
type the MTKFLASH -r mydisc.bin
get the following

Port: 7800, master/slave: b0

Then just sits there doing nothing.

Using a Windows Millenium FAT formated boot disc (Formated from XP)

Ideas welcome .... Cheers

3114 can't either, or any other SIL chipset for that matter.

not to mention the fact that you used -r
it's just
mtkflash r /m name.bin

I am having a similar problem. I have created a MS-DOS Boot disk and placed the firmware files on. I enter the command > mtkflash r/m orig.bin. I then have the optons of selecting the drive i choose to select the master and get the error 'ERR: fail to open output files'. What am i doing wrong i have a VIA Chipset which clearly recognises my samsung dvd drive. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I have the same problem. Can anyone help us? My mainboard is a Asus A8V Deluxe with Via VT 8237. It should be perfectly compatible with Mtkflash... but it doesn't. Why?? It doesn't read the firmware....
Thanks in advance.  Undecided

for the 6 millionth time: you have to hexedit mtkflash to recognize your chipset.

What fw version do you have? maybe you have not ms25, so you have to trick a little to dump it.

My firmware version is: ms25

Model: TS - H943A / MCAH

H /W : 005
Ver. A
October 2005

Note: On the box is written Ms25, but in the bios i've read ms22!

If you read ms22 in motherboar/satacontroller bios, you have ms22.

I don't know if ms22 has something like a "dump protection" as ms19, anyway you can try the bad flash recovery methods:

stop when mtkflash asks what drive to choose, poweroff the drive, poweron again and choose it in the same time. Try it several time.
