Preliminary

Hutil (The Drive Diagnostic Utility) is made with the aim of testing a Samsung hard disk drive while it is Target models installed inside a PC, regardless of the status of user's operating system. In fact of the drives returned Execution to Samsung, a large percentage are NTF("No Trouble Found") after testing. So it is strongly recommended to test the drive if it is truly defective by a few fundamental troubleshooting of Hutil first, Test Result to avoid user's unnecessary effort and inconvenience of replacing a good drive. Hutil can test a drive solely manufactured by Samsung. It is strongly recommended to back up the user's significant data in advance because Hutil has a Write operation that can erase it. Samsung has no responsibility of lost data. The version on pictures may be different from that you download.

Download Hutil_creator.exe on the diskette prepared from the internet. (Hutil_creator.exe is an auto extract execution file.) When you execute the Hutil_creator.exe, Hutil folder will be created and extract Hutil.exe and Hutilxxx.cfg files. Reboot the system by above diskette. Execute the program by typing A:\Hutil.exe in DOS mode. Please Back-up your data before executing this program. Hutil.exe and Hutilxxx.cfg have to be always together on same folder.

Select menu (TOOL)
SET MAX ADDRESS : Resizing capacity ERASE HDD : 0-write or low level format SET MAX UDMA MODE : Switching transfer mode AUTOMATIC ACOUSTIC MANAGEMENT : Changing acoustic noise level SELF DIAGNOSTIC : Diagnosing each function and surface defect 1. Select submenu (SET MAX ADDRESS)
Set Max Address This screen shows how to use SET MAX ADDRESS. Default value of TARGET LBA or TARGET SIZE represents the current drive size. If you want to resize drive capacity, select TARGET LBA or TARGET SIZE and type the proper LBA or MB number that you want to change. After adjusting drive capacity, perform PROCESS by pressing Enter Key. Regarding MODE, you are presented to select either NON-VOLATILE, changed capacity is effective regardless of power off/on, or VOLATILE, changed capacity is effective as long as power on (i.e. after power off/on, drive capacity will be retrieved to original one). If you want to recover to the original size of drive, perform RECOVER NATIVE SIZE by pressing Enter Key. DISPLAY CURRENT STATUS represents the current size of drive. If you set 32GB Clip due to capacity limitation of system, remove the 32GB clip to adjust the LBA or SIZE. After performing SET MAX ADDRESS users previous data will be corrupted. Therefore it takes into great consideration to back-up the data in advance. Samsung has no responsibility of lost data.

If the transmission mode of Mainboard is UDMA33 and the drives mode is UDMA 100, then recommended to adjust drives mode to UDMA 33 by this function. This will not perform write operation but recommended to back up the data in preparation for the worst case. Select the proper UDMA mode by selecting UDMA MODE (33/66/100/133 is changed by pressing Enter Key) and perform PROCESS by pressing Enter Key. DISPLAY CURRENT MODE represents the current UDMA status. Model for support UDMA66 : The last character of model name is D (Ex. SV4084D) Model for support UDMA100:The last character of model name is H (Ex. SV4084H) Model for support UDMA133:The last character of model name is N (Ex. SV0411N) SET MAX UDMA will not enhance drive performance at all.
