[The Solution for Seagate 7200.11 HDDs]

I've done everything you list and I get nothing in the console. I tried Putty and Hyperterminal Private Edition 7.0 since there's no hyperterminal in windows 7.

Yes and I tried to swap them and I can't get a prompt from the HDD.

My last news is that HDD is in good condition and on new PC works.

to maddrummer: Do you connect RX from convertor to TX on HDD and TX ->RX ??

HDD is connect to power ? if you have BSY problem after connect to convertor and power supply you should receive LED: 000000CC FAddr: 0024A051. You try connect converter, connect power supply and after run hyperterminal and set parameter 38400 8 N 1 N

Hi everyone!

I have a little problem here...

I have a Seagate 500GB 7200.11 with BSY problems.

My problem is when I plug the RX-TX cables to the HDD I can't get a prompt when pressing CTRL+z. But when I do my loop test everything is working I can type in my console.

I was wondering if my problem could be because I plugged my (RS-232)-to-TTL adapter with the 5V red cable from a molex plug.

Someone knows what I'm doing wrong??

This is my (RS-232)-to-TTL adapter : http://www.robotshop.ca/sfe-db9-rs232-shifter.html
