Hi Sergei,
I can't seem to fugure this one out.
I upload 300K from 1st sector of FAT block. (at dump 0x13a88000)
See if you can figure out geometry.
I think it's 512/26/512/26.... but it doesn't seem to add up!
Cheers
Sean

Now have another one of these non-standard USB sticks in.
This one has the same controller, but two chips.
The only way I can read all the data is to use a Page Size of 8448 and double the Mb size.
The data format appears to be 8 lots of 512Bytes + 26 bytes service data, which is 4304 bytes in a page. Then it's "00" till the end of the 8448 Page read.
By checking the FAT table, this appears to be the case, data flows correctly in this pattern.
I'm thinking that I could write a script to strip off the excess 10 bytes (I'm guessing they're some sort of ECC) and rearrange into standard 4224 (8 lots of 512+16)?
Anybody else come across this?
Cheers
Sean

Yes. Its one of ways.
But look on FAT table:
89abcdef
missed: 10 11 ..17
18,19...
Where are they?
I don't know.
Set in config:
Page 4224 + 64 = 4288
Block 0x84F40
Send me 300k

Won't let me select Block 0x84f40...
Start 0x0
End 0x84000000
Size 0x84000000
Block 0x84f40
Canceled.
Error: Size != 0x84f40 * N
For reference, the single 2Gb chip is marked as "HVPE3F3".
and the two 2Gb chips in the other stick are "HVPE4F3"

That seemed to work pretty well Sergei, except the "My Documents" folder in IE appears red.
Small problem, should be able to use regular software to recover these files.
No I have another of these sticks, same controller and similar chips......
Look same format, but data is striped across the two chips.
Normally I would "Join by 528" to remove the mix, but I can't do that here!
Any suggestions?

I need teach Block_Number work with this sectors.
But you still can use this "crazy" method.
Just create images for both dumps
And remove mix after.
