Coby MPC951 Hi I recently changed the hard disk of Coby MPC951 since the old disk had some problems. But the new disk is just formatted and does not contain the firmware files in it. I have connected the new disk to the player but I still get the message "HDD read error" and if I connect it to the PC vis USB, the player itself is not getting recognized. How to I install the firmware in it now? I'm able to connect the hard disk to the computer separately using a ZIF connector and read the drive. My email is [email protected]

A new study reveals that used Hard Disk Drives available on classifieds websites contain high-risk data
A recent analysis done by Stellar Data Recovery, one of the world's leading data recovery, data erasure and data migration solutions provider reveals that hard disk drives available on second-hand marketplace sites contain a huge amount of confidential data. As part of the study, multiple hard disks drives were purchased from India's leading online platform which facilitates buying and selling of second-hand products. For the sample collected, sensitive and high-risk data was uncovered in 100% of cases.

Most consumers in India are unaware that data can be recovered from their legacy drives and mobiles and steps like formatting are not enough for ensuring data privacy. The study further reveals that the vast majority of Indians are still unfamiliar with data sanitization methods; often referred to as data erasure methods, data wipe methods, wipe algorithms, and data wipe standards. This eye-opening study now mandates the need of consumer awareness for both individuals and business alike, about their own Data Privacy and the need to adopt proper and secure data erasure techniques before discarding legacy gadgets; this is a pre-requisite to keep cyber criminals at bay.
