[The Solution for Seagate 7200.11 HDDs]

I have tried and tried to get this to work ...

when i connect everything all i get in hyperterm

is a black arrow pointing to the right ..

each time i hit ctrl z i get the blackarrow to the right

if i unhook the wire ctrl z does nothing

if i do a loopback test i get my text back ....

The black arrow is te character of the "ctrl+z" command.

It is due to loopback from TX to RX, a bad cable or the "echo" command of the hdd.

Can you see if your RX and TX wires are joined?

found my Problem . thanks

it was my power source for the HDD. i was using a power supply that come with me sata to usb adapter .

once i connected to a PC power supply it started working fine...
