What happens if you issue directly the F,,22?

nothing

Today I asked for more information about the HDD (girlfriend's) and I knew that originally had the 0 LBA problem. Her brother updated the HDD with the latest firmware (as suggested by seagate software) and... BSY born!

Well, you can try again from the beginning but skip the SMART erase command, and or simply try again, sometimes there are timing problems.

Difficult to say, it could be the actual adapter DOA or more simply a cold solder (or improper connection of the wires you are using).

Yes, DoA

I bought another one and I have another problem

After

F3 1>N1 (enter)

appear

LED:00000047 FAddr:04290100
