I'll need to get really lucky on this one... I have a Pentium PC based oscilloscope, Gould Ultima 500, 4 channel 500MHz, 500M to 2GS/s, circa 2000. The only thing... is it is currently a big doorstop, the HDD has failed. As far as I know it should run MS Windows 200 pro, I may be able to get my hands on that but all the specific software is a bigger problem. The ideal would be a drive image from a working Ultima 500, however I'll take any information, links, partition structure or individual software files from the Ultima 500, Accura 100, Accura 50 oscilloscopes. My doorstop thanks you! |

Bumping this back up, I'm still looking for the software or a disk image... |
| PushUp:
I had a HDD failure in the past with +25 of virtual images, which I didn't want to redo once again. Therefore I looked for an identical model on ebay. I was lucky to find three of them in used conditions, of which one was out of the same production month. Therefore I only needed to swap the circuit board on the backside and anything was fine, being able to secure the files on different HDDs in the end, because the read head was fine... You have to be more precise as far as the HDD failure is concerned. Is it dead, does it make noise, which connectors, which model, have you already searched for a used one. Are you able to connect it to an external power supply, in order to clone it with your pc and rescue the content with different types of software such as "MiniToolPartitionWizard" or "EaseUSDataRecoveryWizard" or "CyrstalDiskInfo" to get more information of the HDD itself? If you find another used HDD of the exact type, but you are not able to swap the inside yourself, you will find a repair-shop, which is porbably easier, than searching for an old image as nobody has answered for such a long time... Here is an example - just a video - no recommendation: Toi, toi, toi! :-+ |

In this case the HDD (6GB-ish Seagate) has the surface physically damaged, the previous owner even removed the sealing tape for some reason (stuck heads at one point maybe...). After attaching it to a Linux box and running hours of dd all I've been able to recover is the partition structure and fragments of data too small to be of any use. I'm screwed! |

Bumped again. A year later I still haven't found anything. |
