Before you download
Your operating system will not recognize HD24 ADAT FST drives, and because of it, it may ask you if you want to initialize or format it. INITIALIZING THE DRIVE WILL OVERWRITE THE SUPERBLOCK OF THE DRIVE AND WILL MAKE IT UNREADABLE IN YOUR HD24 RECORDER ("Invalid Format" error). If you *did* initialize your drive, don't panic. The current version of hd24connect is still able to read these drives. If you need further assistance, let me know.
HD24tools is currently available as shareware. This means you pay for it what you think it's worth - perhaps it saved you time or money. Even modest donations are appreciated. If you wish to donate to me for developing HD24tools, use one of the following buttons to donate:
