Issue with Spinrite 6.1 Rel 3 on HP w/ Legacy Bios option

[Jimmod]

Hi all,

I have been able to run SpinRite 6.1 on my new desktop, however I am unable to run it on an older HP Laptop 15-dy1xxx (155B8UWR). I have successfully enabled Legacy support and disabled TPM in the bios, the system boots - but Spinrite 6.1 still sees the internal SSD as being inaccessible. Any help on collecting debug logs or next steps would be appreciated.

@Jimmod ,

I suspect the SSD may be in an M2 slot. If so, SR 6.1's native drivers do not support this (that will come with SR 7.0).

There are some of things you can try:

1) Run SpinRite with diags on the command line: C:\>spinrite diags
This will produce a DBG text file which can be posted here.

2) Run SpinRite with forcebios on the command line: C:\>spinrite forcebios
This will force SR to use the BIOS rather than it's native drivers for drive enumeration and testing.

3) Put both parameters on the command line: C:\>spinrite diags forcebios (the order is not important)
The resulting DBG file can be posted here.
