Hey there I am trying to edit my hddhackr for my sata chipset and I don't quite understand the instructions.
According to the faq, there should be 7 between the adresses, but EFE0 - EFA0 = 40h. I may be missing something though so feel free to clarify.
Anyways, here is my msinfo32 (From Windows 7 64 bit if that matters). can you please tell me what I need to use?

Full Version: Trying To Edit My Sata Ports

Hello im trying to do the same atm without succes. Here's what i think the readme is trying to tell. Maybe it helps you.
Q. The tool doesn't detect my HDD !
A. First, make sure you are running it from dos, not from a dos box under windows.
Ifthe hddhackr does not autodetect your SATA controller (if you have an nForce
chipset for example), then you can manually edit the hddhackr to support it.
To do this:
1. Find the two ports that your SATA chipset uses for data communication (see the
MTKediting thread ( http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=514126 ) for
more detailed info on how to do this), basically, you need to run 'msinfo32',
then go to storage/scsi or storage/ide, depending on your SATA chipset and then
look for the two adress lines that have a difference of 7 between them.
For example:
I/O-port 0x0000EFE0-0x0000EFE7
I/O-port 0x0000EFAC-0x0000EFAF
I/O-port 0x0000EFA0-0x0000EFA7
I/O-port 0x0000EFA8-0x0000EFAB
I/O-port 0x0000EF90-0x0000EF9F
I/O-port 0x0000E800-0x0000E8FF
In this example the two port numbers you are looking for (with difference of 7) are
0xEFE0 and 0xEFA0.
2. Open the hddhackr.com in a hexeditor and search for the string 'port=MPRT'
(it is at the end of the file). Now, that 'MPRT' string is 4 bytes long:
0x4D 0x50 0x52 0x54. You have to replace these four bytes with the 2 port numbers
(which are each 2 bytes long, so you replace the 4 bytes in total), so in the
example above you replace these four bytes with: '0xEF 0xE0 0xEF 0xA0'.
3. If you then start the hddhackr, it will automatically detect that you have edited
that string, so it will skip the SATA autodetector and instead use the port numbers
you've supplied.
Ive made the 0x4D 0x50 0x52 0x54 location black on this picture. The 0x might be a little be confusion so its basicly 4D 50 52 54

For some reason my master sata port wouldnt show up in msinfo32 so i used jungleflasher to find the correct I/O port. Its finally working.
