DFL-WDII hdd firmware repair tool has integrated one new hdd repair feature-Translator repair
with two options: Clear Translator and Regenerate Translator.
What's HDD Translator?
HDD translator is a combination of program and tables which are taking care of the translation from
CHS to LBA addressing. Cylinder-head-sector, also known as CHS, was an early method for giving
addresses to each physical block of data on a hard disk drive. Though CHS values no longer have a
direct physical relationship to the data stored on disks, virtual CHS values (which can be translated
by disk electronics or software) are still being used by many utility programs. Logical block
addressing (LBA) is a common scheme used for specifying the location of blocks of data stored on
computer storage devices, generally secondary storage systems such as hard disks. LBA is a
particularly simple linear addressing scheme; blocks are located by an integer index, with the first
block being LBA 0, the second LBA 1, and so on.
HDD Defects and Translators
HDD defects within the manufacturing process-defects within P-list are eliminated or
disabled/bypassed with the help of translator. Data of translator is located at mod. 31 and 32 but the
translator table is generated from P-list, the Mod.33. If there's damage in Mod. 31 or 32, especially
mod.31, the data area of the WD hdd will be inaccessible and full of exclamation marks after
scanning. If the translator table is damaged, the WD hdd usually clicks or data area cannot be read
at all.
