[The Solution for Seagate 7200.11 HDDs]

When I do the m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22 it fixes one of two partitions on the HD. One is now recoverable with all data in tact, but it isn't the partition I need to get data from. If there are two partitions on the HD, what are the commands for each partition? I see m0 is for one partition, but what would the command be for other partitions?

Thanks in advance.

I've 2 partitions too, but not change any thing in the command, just follow the guide and you'll get your all data back.

I tried the 0 LBA fix (HDD is recognized by BIOS, but as 0MB), but it doesn't seem to work:

When I input "m0 2,2,0,0,0,0,22" it takes a few seconds until the first line ("Max Wr Retries"...) shows up completly but then appears the following error message:

Error 1008 DETSEC 0000500D

User Partition Format Failed - Elapsed Time 0 mins 00 secs

R/W Sense 00000002, R/W Error 00000084, File Error 00001002

Blk Addr 01080001, Blk Addr Type D0, Cyl 01590000, Hd 00

Anyone experienced the same or can help?

EDIT: Interface is a modified Sagem data-cable with SP232AET-chipset (equal to MAX232), but this interface seems to work as it gets an answer.

This might be caused for something more severe problem on drive.

The drive just went into 0 LBA error after a reboot? After that, you didn't tried anything else (like trying to upgrade the firmware, etc) ?

F3 T>m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22

m[Partition],[FormatOpts],[DefectListOpts],[MaxWrRetryCnt],[MaxRdRetryCnt],[MaxEccTLevel],[MaxCertifyTrkRewrites],[ValidKey]

Partition: 0
FormatOpts: 2
DefectListOpts: 2
MaxWrRetryCnt: 0
MaxRdRetryCnt: 0
MaxEccTLevel: 0
MaxCertifyTrkRewrites: 0
ValidKey: 22

Try this:

F3 T>m0,1,1,0,0,0,0,22

If no good, try:

F3 T>m0,1,1,2,2,0,0,22

If success, try this again:

F3 T>m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22

It can takes as slow as 30 to 120 secs to get something on terminal.

I am seriously terrified. Your irresponsibility and incompetence has no end. You recommend him try these command, did you ever know what it means? Kadolf was extremely lucky, his terminal wasnt work correctly and these commands wasnt executed.

Just look what it does:

F3 T>m0,1,1,2,2,0,0,22					  
Max Wr Retries = 02, Max Rd Retries = 02, Max ECC T-Level = 00, Max Certify Rewr																				
ite Retries = 0000

process was cancelled....

it lasted 120 seconds, data from 0-120000000 sectors was irreversibly destroyed, more after breaking format both defect lists are destroyed and unusable so you cannot recalculate proper translator anymore.

Dear Mr Gradius2, please dont make a specialist from yourself. Your advices could be catastrofic for someone. Dont test commands on innocent people who came here for help with their losted data.

You invented nothing, just copy and paste someones hard work and research. I can proove this many many times. For example this user tryed to enter improper command which he found here and which was with SAME error on source page. I mean "m0 2,2,0,0,0,0,22" space instead of comma, coincidence?

I promised myself that I will not make war against you but after saw your experiments on innocent users I just cant leave it.

Aviko : My friend was do the wrong command like 'm0,1,1,0,0,0,0,22', how can solve this issue after that.
