[The Solution for Seagate 7200.11 HDDs]

Huck

I don't see a problem the only difference is the 3% complete in the first page of the long thread it also shows this as 10% someone was able to "catch" it before it completed. The results you have seem to be correct from the posted instructions does the drive now work ?

I refer you back to page 1 of this thread NOW I copy/paste from this page below: and you see the very top line below that's the exact same results you have ! The other 2nd line is only additional info the poster was able to catch not every single person is able to see that. The 3rd line is the important info. I agree you have 00 for both results maybe it was just that fast ? or like many so many others you missed some step and need to try again.

Max Wr Retries = 00, Max Rd Retries = 00, Max ECC T-Level = 14, Max Certify Rewrite Retries = 00C8

User Partition Format 10% complete, Zone 00, Pass 00, LBA 00004339, ErrCode 00000080, Elapsed Time 0 mins 05 secs

User Partition Format Successful - Elapsed Time 0 mins 05 secs

Networks,

No, it still won't work. Same problem size = 0. I think the Elapsed Time of zero is significant. I have tried this four times with the same results. I have read the Read-Me-First sticky and (I believe) follow the directions as written. It happens so fast that I don't believe it is actually formatting anything. I am out of ideas and could use some help.

I have tried these instructions several times for size = 0 problem and I am getting somewhat different results:

F3 2>Z

Spin Down Complete

Elapsed Time 10.583 secs

F3 2>U

Spin Up Complete

Elapsed Time 6.305 secs

F3 2>/1

F3 1>N1

F3 1>/T

F3 T>m0,2,2,,,,,22

Max Wr Retries = 00, Max Rd Retries = 00, Max ECC T-Level = 14, Max Certify Rewrite Retries = 00C8

User Partition Format Successful - Elapsed Time 0 mins 00 secs

F3 T>

You can see the results of the m0,2,2,,,,,22 command is different. The results of this command did not return the second line of the expected results.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Max Wr Retries = 00, Max Rd Retries = 00, Max ECC T-Level = 14, Max Certify Rewrite Retries = 00C8

User Partition Format 3% complete, Zone 00, Pass 00, LBA 00004AA5, ErrCode 000

00080, Elapsed Time 0 mins 30 secs

User Partition Format Successful - Elapsed Time 0 mins 30 secs

ACTUAL RESULTS

F3 T>m0,2,2,,,,,22

Max Wr Retries = 00, Max Rd Retries = 00, Max ECC T-Level = 14, Max Certify Rewrite Retries = 00C8

User Partition Format Successful - Elapsed Time 0 mins 00 secs

I did not get the line:

User Partition Format 3% complete, Zone 00, Pass 00, LBA 00004AA5, ErrCode 000

00080, Elapsed Time 0 mins 30 secs

Does anybody have any ideas?

I followed the instructions for fixing the seagate 7011 drive - size = 0.

I entered the following

F3 T>m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22

And should have received this:

Max Wr Retries = 00, Max Rd Retries = 00, Max ECC T-Level = 00, Max Certify Rewrite Retries = 0000

User Partition Format 5% complete, Zone 00, Pass 00, LBA 00008DED, ErrCode 00000080, Elapsed Time 0 mins 05 secs

User Partition Format Successful - Elapsed Time 0 mins 05 secs

I received this:

Max Wr Retries = 00, Max Rd Retries = 00, Max ECC T-Level = 00, Max Certify Rewrite Retries = 0000

User Partition Format Successful - Elapsed Time 0 mins 00 secs

Then returned to the F3 T> prompt.

The fix did not work. It did not format the partition. I still have the LBA = 0 error.

Any suggestions?
