Hi thanks fer the reply. Am certain the drive spins ok - attempted to connect the drive via USB to my laptop(Win 7) and just fer a moment could see the partitions and files.
Tried to transfer the files to the laptop but was not successful. Anyway the were not any important documents/files/data when searching through the data.
When I did a restart/reboot again the same problem "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED" came up again. Tried this several times but to no avail.
So now I really would like to repair this Maxtor to a working/usable state. Appreciate any assistance on the method to accomplish this.
Thanks
I have the same issue with a barracuda st3500418AS , SOLVED with only a SMART reset:
Do your homework and get a serial terminal.
CTRL+z
F3 3>Z
F3 3>/1
F3 1>N1
F3 1>/T
F3 T>i4,1,22Wait, and turn off, 10s and turn on.
And now you can read until the read error without having a "disconnection" it just gives a read error, so you can skip a file an continue, it will not repair your drive but at least will allow you to fetch some data.

Barracuda ES.2 Spin but make 2 clicks and urresponsibe, terminal is no
in Hard Drive and Removable Media

I have this drive as you can see on the picture:
And the manufacturer data:
ST31000340NS
FW:MA08
P/N: 9CA158-053
Completely dead for the sata controller, and sata controller takes a lot to give up on reading.
Seeing this forum and threads for the LBA0 and BSY error, I'll try to do such thing thinking I could be lucky.
But the serial terminal is not locked, I can press CTRL+Z any time and put commands and they look like responding.
Trying with another drive (different model and firmware) it shows on the screen RST, (P) SATA, ® SATA etc. etc. while plugging and unplugging, so if I can see it on my ES.2 it means something went wrong.
How it sound when spins up? well, spins normal but in the time the heads make a glitch and has to make a pretty vibration, instead you ear 2 glitches one followed to another and there is no access from the computer, not even showing debug on the serial terminal.
Follow the link to ear the noise:

Sometime I've got this error when one of my SATA controllers try to read again the drive:
And turning off/on makes no difference.
Any tips that I could doing wrong, or any other tip on what can be happening?-.
Best regards in advance.
