[The Solution for Seagate 7200.11 HDDs]

Hi guys, i have one more question..

after fixing a ST3500320AS SD15 following your instruction,

I have now an ST3500820 SD25.

The drive it is recognized by bios, with correct size.

So, it have not either the BSY or 0 Gb problems.

But.. the system can't recognize the NTFS partition, even with data recovery software is possible to acces the data.

Do you think tha the BSY or 0Gb method, would work with this problem?

The drive seems to work fine, no strange noise.

Even XP, connecting the drive via USB, start to read the partition, but then it stop.

Thanks to everyone will help me

Probably it is possible.

See the initial reasonings about the actual CAUSE, i.e. the "magic number" 320, read starting from here:

for two-three pages.

Well.. i meant recreate the problem with the TTL interface and the terminal..

Not to do the 320 or 640 or whaterver poweron cycles..
