guys can you please help me with my post in the other thread? SOrry for the duplicate post, i started a new topic by mistake when I meant to start one here... soz! hi all ive been fixing these 7200.11 BSY drives for a long time now using the original fix posted from Gradius (kudos to you mate!) so a client dropped off a drive (Seagate ST31000340AS 1TB) and I ran through the normal process, and still nothing... drive doesnt pick up at BIOS. So I was like OK... and did the optional extra step in his guide (which I have never done before)... still no luck! So I followed the post from Aviko (on this forum) ok lets start from scratch, try this: put some isolation under connector to heads (paper plastic etc.) motor have to be connected. power up drive. enter terminal, press ctrl+z. and this i am not sure, i havent any 7200.11 here to check, you have to try first try: wait until motor stops itself. then enter /2 and Z if you got message spin down completed remove isolation from pcb and mha connector (mha - magnetic heads assembly) screw on pcb to hdd. if you still dont get CC or CE its really good. now wake up drive with command U motor should be started and you should not get any error messages, otherwise you have to start again from begin. when drive spins up, go to level T (just enter /) now type F,,22 should appear message about restoring to defaults. then F3 t>/1 then F3 1>N1 if drive goes back to prompt ask for further instructions Now the drive is showing in the BIOS, but when I get into Windows it picks up the drive under device manager as a 2TB drive, but doesnt show under my computer. Can you advise me as to what I might do to get around this? Many thanks, Richard from South Africa
