Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I have a seagate barracuda 7200.12 (ST500DM002) HDD having BSY ERROR.
I AM USING Kootek PL2303 USB to Serial TTL UART Module Converter Adapter. Link:http://www.amazon.in/Kootek-PL2303-Serial-Converter-Adapter/dp/B00FEAMUOK?tag=googinhydr18418-21&tag=googinkenshoo-21&ascsubtag=0c8f7794-7168-4197-85cf-745c0ba7f2d2 but it produced the ARROW character in Hyperterminal. one post says that the USB-TTL adapter sent signals at 5 Volts level and required 5 Volts responses, but maybe the HD only could send 3.3 Volts signals, so the Prolific USB-TTL adapter didn't work. So for people having problem with only getting an arrow prompter, switch to an adapter which sends and receives signals around 3.3 Volts. please help me...
