HD Doctor for Seagate is very expensive. You can repair your hdd yourself by less than 30 euro

My hdd hasn't such noises upon powering up.First, you can try to repair your hdd with this method. If this method doesn't work then you can try this one: I have found the "trrrrr" solution at this webpage: http://translate.google.es/translate?u=htt...es&ie=UTF-8

You need connect GND too (pin3).I think that the board is good.

You can restore your data with the TTL connection.The cable is good (use FTDI FT232RQ integrated circuit) and very expensive!

You should apply LBA0 fix: m0,2,2,,,,,22 commandI haven't loose nothing, it format the service area (SA), a hidden are of the hdd. It isn't the window's format.

VCC -> +5V (Red wire from floppy's cable)GND -> GND (Black wire from floppy's cable) Or you can use 3V to 5V battery

You burn the MHDD iso and you reboot the PC.With this MSDOS program you can test if your hdd has BSY flag.

1. MHDD let you check the drive to see if its experiencing the BSY error.2. If it is experiencing the BSY error you check the new commands of SD1A firmware. The m command finish with a comma: m0,2,2,,,,,22, You can see all commands of your 7200.11 disc with this: Ctrl+z F3 T>/C F3 C>Q (List all commands of your hdd) Some SD1A version: All Levels '+': Rev

This pdf is for unlock xbox harddisks, old hard disks.The Seagate 7200.11 hard disks have BSY and LBO0 problems, the procedure is different.

I did this fix about 2 weeks ago on a 500gb maxtor and the problem happen again!!. will the fix work again? Yes, the fix will work again, but Seagate has changed the commands. You can see the commands: Ctrl+z F3 T>/C F3 C>Q List all commands. The m command finish with a comma.

I like this procedure too.

Have you flex the board sometime?Error 1009 DETSEC 00006008 It is a read and write problem. You can't access to aluminium hard disc. Check all your contacts (one by one), you have problems if you have moved them. SpinDown with Z command and you screw the board. U command and check if motor works.

Your hdd and PCB are good.LED CE error is because you do Ctrl+z very quick. You power on the PCB and wait 20 seconds, after this, you put Ctrl+z, /1, etc You can try it any some times. Normally this procedure works. OK If i wait 20 sec spin down ok but there is another problem F3 2>Z Spin Down Complete Elapsed Time 0.159 msecs F3 2>U Error 1009 DETSEC 00006008 Spin Error Elapsed Time 27.284 secs R/W Status 2 R/W Error 84150180 Have you used papers over contacts?I think that this method can flex the board or the connectors.

It will not work. Each PCB has a SN and configuration parameters for each HDDA.

Have you unmounted the PCB? Or have you put papers on motor and/or heads contacts?

Have differents P-List (primary list), sectors reallocation tables, etc It looks like you skipped several steps. Did you do everything described here? I only got the 0LBA Error, not BSY. Maybe there are both errors on the hdd and i should use the commands for BSY too? I only had got the 0LBA Error, not BSY. But I did all the steps and it work.

Do you had BSY problem or LBA0 0GB problem?If you had BSY problem you haven`t repaired the hdd. You need unmount the PCB, spin down, etc

first: do loopback test of the cable. 38400, 8, N, 1, None flow control GND: Use pin3 of jumper connector, near TX.

Given that the PCB has been removed repeatedly to try and get this fix going, I doubt Seagate is gonna do data recovery. Also, Firmware hacking is dangerous/bad etc? What, you mean like what everyone else has been doing to fix their drives? Pichi: The drive died with this problem. it just started buzzing and not responding. As i've said, i've removed the PCB and done the fix in an eariler post, no change. /C, Q Gives me an LED error. but that's probably cause I have the PCB removed. Will try again in a moment. At your first procedure, have you unconnected the PCB completly or only use papers on heads and/or on motor contacts?You post your LED error.

The hdd use 3.3V logic levels. I have used 3.3V adapter and it works. 5V -> MAX232, HIN232, ST232, ADM232, etc 3V -> MAX3232 You use the the MAX3232? It's correct? It's correct, I use MAX3232 (valid for 3V and 5V)

You format the disk, but not user data, you format the "Service Area" (hidden zone in the hard disk).With this method you don't modify "User Data", but you will lost all if you do it bad. For find the solution:FIRST: How has it ocurred? Can you write your first procedure? Have you unconnected the PCB completly or only use papers on heads and/or on motor contacts? You can see all commands of your 7200.11 disc with this: Ctrl+z F3 T>/C F3 C>Q (List all commands of your hdd)
