Hi Guys I have a bricked SEAGATE 7200.11 hdd. Model : ST31000340AS FW: SD04 I have followed this guide to recover the hdd but now the drive is able to detect in the bios but appears in windows as "ST3_INVALID PATA" All attempts at recovery with R-studio have failed with I/O errors. This is a copy of the hyperterminal screen below. Is there anyway to restore the drive or does the I/O errors mean its not a simple fw fix? Thanks in advance!!
