I bet this wont fix your drive if the key is lost... I imagine many people who have lost their drive key will be buying this just to notice that this fix wont work.

How do you restore it if windows doesn't reconize the drive anymore?

*Similar*? It looks identical to the Xecuter kit, right down to the box! But that's no bad thing, the Xecuter kit was a big help for me in cracking open the case...

This sounds like a great product to me. The only way I know of to bring back a bricked hitachi (that can't be detected in windows) is to desoulder the chip and repogram it. Not really a viable solution if you don't own a rework station and re-programmer since both those items together cost more than the drive is worth. This could be a much less expensive and less involved option for fixing those bricked hitachi's.

If the flash on the drive is corrupted/messed up and windows won't see i then there is no way to fix it with just software

Heh, if this does what it claims it already looks like the Chillifix will go down in history as one of the most popular 'mod' items, ever.
