[The Solution for Seagate 7200.11 HDDs]

Thanks again for this info, I applied the LBA0 fix after the BSY fix, and all has come back, windows booted up wihtout any issues, thankyou so much!

lcoughey - Business users and personal users have different values attached to their contents, I lost some photos and vinyl records which I have carefully ripped to mp3 and catalogued, meaing I would have wasted my personal time doing that, and the sentimental value of the pictures, which is hard to value.

Would I rather stay at work and earn overtime for to pay for a drive recovery, or stay at home and rip my music again?

I guess I could go to the same concert again and take more photos, or have my drive recovered..kind of a hard question to answer.

Gracias Pichi, I got a terminal connection working!

I applied the BSY fix, now the BIOS of my PC sees the drive as 0GB.

Should I apply the LBA fix, or retry the BSY fix with G-List step?

Do you loose data if you apply an LBA fix? I read you have to format?

Hi all

Have been reading this topic during the time I have been waiting for my TTL RS232 adapter to arrive.

Now it is here, I am a bit stuck as to how to power up everything.

Thanks for the info so far to all involved in setting this post up.

I have a question regarding my adapter.

Do I need to power the RS232 interface seperately from my hard disk?

Where do I connect the power to on the RS232 interface I have (pictured below)
