Is anyone here willing to dump a Megatouch MAXX Diamond for me?

thanks for looking into this, as well. I really appreciate it!
I guess what I'll do is try and install it onto a hard drive and see where it fails.

No problem. I am getting it now. Thanks shawn.
Anyway, i have removed a few hardware cheacks from force and ion system binarys, so this should be pretty trivial. I think it is BS that this software isnt supported anymore, yet someone would have to pay overpriced costs to get a replacement drive because they locked the hdd down at a low level rom chip on the hdd. Yes you could attempt to clone/reflash it, but your risking a brick. Just remove the hdd check via software and call it a day is what i would say.

yes that is what my post meant
they locked it down low level,as merit themselfs told me to chk the linux fourms..
yes u are right,we should beable to remove the s/w chk for it
thus opening up the drive..any drive then can be used
yes u are right it is rubish they would charge for a replacement hd to the extent they do
and as they no longer have the copyers..>they were trashed when ami got there fingers into it<,we need to do some code work
as i rem i pointed the linux forums have the bypass method
much like a jailbreak..
i have seen it in .trx file and straight .tar
our problem here as i see it
is how much understanding do these ppl have as to what we are saying ?
can they just copy code over ?
i have a read of the low level flash some where in my box
as i have the eq nessary to give me the stuff i am looking for
it is in a hidden none windows paritition
now i did explain to shawn to use easydos to copy a good working drive
it will give u eveything u need to know as it is 1 to 1..
then i think we can break the lock down

thank you very much for making my brain work :)
u aslo need to get a good copy of the motherboard eprom
i will dig out the hexcsum for it..
as it carrys part of the problem >bios<
i will post more as i dig it out
from what i can rember the 2 do a chk-sum at >boot<
it will allow u to load the os,but then crap out on u
i think it is error 87 or such
these errors btw are not even listed in there repair guide
i had to find them the hard way...lucky me
