I am running Windows7 but I have been running everything with Run as Admin. I used the commands from this thread: How do I replace the PCB board? Thanks.

I think I have a 0 LBA error. Tried the "The Solution for Seagate 7200.11 HDDs" but the drive still has 0MB drive. The final output was "User Partition Format Successful - Elapsed Time 0 mins 0 secs". Is it suppose to take 0 secs for user partition format? Is there anything I can try to repair the drive?

Yea, I tried the Windows and DOS version of Seatools. In the DOS version, it detects the hard drive but all of the diagnostic tests fail to run because of "Bad sector". Thanks for your help. Any other suggestions?

I have a ST9160411AS Momentus 7200.3 SATA 3Gb/s 160-GB Hard Drive. 1) The BIOS detects the hard drive. 2) Hard drive does not show up in My Computer. 3) The hard drive shows up in Disk management but it says, "Not initialized." So, I try to initialize the hard drive, but it says, "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." I tried the SeaTools but it doesn't show up when you scan for drives. I have files on the hard drive. How can I fix the drive? Thanks for you help.
