I see messages that Windows might not be genuine. How do I fix this? If my PC is running non-genuine Windows software, can it still receive critical security updates?
What are the most common reasons Windows fails validation? Need more help? Join the discussion. Was this information helpful? Yes No. Thank you! Any more feedback?
The more you tell us the more we can help. Can you help us improve? Resolved my issue. Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. Incorrect instructions. Too technical. Not enough information. Not enough pictures. Any additional feedback?
Submit feedback. Thank you for your feedback! First confirm a small area is ok, then write a block and check read by starting at a high address, if the read failed, he halved the address and tried again. No, the code that tells your computer the size of the drive is injected at the time of manufacture.
I downloaded and tried to put ChipGenius on my Windows 10 system. The password seems correct but the. Fortunately it gets detected before it does any damage and before it gets written to my hard drive. I got one version via the link on this website and the same version from SoftPedia. So after 2 attempts using files from 2 sources, I am reasonably certain that this program does contain a virus. I do not want to find out how nasty as that would entail having to remove it after it does damage.
I will use H2testw until I can find something better and also free of malware. We literally tell you in the article this program generates false positives and not to use it if that makes you feel uncomfortable. It does not contain viruses and has been around for almost 10 years. This would have been nice to know in advance. All we need are counterfeit detectors, or perhaps just to assume that everything from Asia is counterfeit. The tool will tell you it will erase all data before you attempt to run a scan, so you are told in advance.
How long it will take obviously depends on the size and speed of the flash drive and your system. Yea, this is a counterfeit detector. Erasing all the data and scanning for hours is how you detect counterfeits.
Is there a tool which do the test and show serial number in same window? That way I can ask seller person not company to run the test and send me screenshot and if everything is OK, I just check if serial is same… And it should also work with new flashes like GB or more. Is there a tool for not only testing but reformatting the fake drive to its true capacity? Something that rewrites CRC or creates a true-size partition? I have read somewhere that you could use a partition manager to simply create 2 partitions.
Now you could write only to partition 1 and leave partition 2 alone. This should be a workaround to still use that cheap Chinese Chip It is free so you can check it out.
It did a good job of formatting but I had already repartitioned the drive before I tried it. It fails on nearly everyone of the recommended applications, either immediately, or shortly after running the recommended app. Is there no reliable tool out there, that will test the larger sized flash drive memory sticks? Then I use h2testw to verify size. I use ChipGenius to get a fast response and then check with some images. I copy many images to the drive and then some images start scrumbling.
Let the window stay around for a couple hours just in case, but it seems once it goes Not Responding it stays that way. And it takes 4hrs or so just to get the point where it crashes. How has anyone progressed to complete the test? Can the test somehow be resumed if the task needs to be killed? Is 2TB just beyond this test applications capability?
FFT fills memory from the top downwards. Most fake drives have no memory at the top and the real memory is at the bottom. If Windows gets errors, then it will timeout and retry on every write operation and this can take many many hours if testing the bottom GB! Use ChipGenius to try to find what memory chips it actually has. HAve a supposed 1TB flash drive…It is taking over hrs for H2 to complete the test…There has to be a more efficient way to check for capacity….
Beware of ChipGenious. VirusTotal and numerous other sites list it as malware that installs a backdoor. Regarding the malware triggers for ChipGenius, if you look at the actual details of a VirusTotal scan, you will see that there are multiple generic detections based on Heuristics, but not really any specifics.
False positives are very common with software that does certain low-level operations such as manipulating device drivers or opening network ports.
They also often happen when software is created using certain tools that also happen to be used by malware frequently. The AutoIt3 script compiler is a valuable, flexible and important administration tool, but because it has been used maliciously in the past, programs compiled with it often get flagged as malware.
UPX compression is a useful tool, but it is also often used by malware authors, so innocent programs that use it sometimes trigger false positives. Always get software from the original sources whenever possible. Yes ChipGenius is not detected as malware by bitdefender but as malware by other antivirus Smadav. It checks total capacity very fast almost instantaneously on fake USB. I bought Flashdisk 3.
Protocal Version: USB 2. Possible Flash Part-Number —————————- Unknown. It said all my flash drives are bad, even the ones that I know are good. There is another,, open source, there is a git,, F3 F3 probe 6. I am using H2TestW for long time, actually it only check the capacity, writing and reading from disk. Hi, This may sound counter intuitive, but I would like to do the opposite and reduce the reported size of an SD card.
The method the counterfeiters use presumably is to take the MBR partition table of a larger card and write it to the MBR of a smaller card, but this would not work for the synthesizer, as the disk format is proprietary and there are no partitions. Is there a way to tell the SD card at a lower level that it has fewer cylinders etc.? I dont know of any way to alter the reported capacity of an SD card.
Just create the first partition the size you want and leave the rest unalocated. Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. This thread is locked.
