Having problems with Hddhackr?
I had loads of problems with hddhackr, so I have plenty of troubleshooting tips to relay.

PROBLEM: hddhackr freezes

SOLUTION: Hddhackr does not recognize your SATA controller. You will need to do the following:

1. Boot into WIndows and run MSINFO32

6. Open Hex Workshop
