[Alandata Recovery]

   Model : WDC WD20SDRW-11VUUS0
  Serial : WD-WX62AB1RZD86
Firmware : 01.01A01
Capacity : 2 TB (3 906 963 632)

This drive had stiction.

we replaced heads and everything is good

I can read clear data using utility and ATA read.

I go to DE to clone drive using its USB board

I thought DE used to ask you when you launched a USB deevice the same question

and let you select ATA read.

This lookslike PBA read.

I want normal read.

How do I get normal DE cloning?

I think I may have inadvertently clicked SETUP PBA access

when I first started working with it.
