bp2411 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 maxjix I had the same problem as you mine was happening because I was typing the commands in wrong.hi guys i might try this, as seagate still not getting back to me. I cant see my HDD in windows or bios and the victoria prog that fatlip suggested worked first but now avg says its a trojan so i didnt even get to try it with my affected HDD.I have a Mator diamondmax22 500gb STM3500320AS and aviko assures me that this technique here for the seagate will work for me also. as they're both the same drives. i cant see my HDD in windows or bios.where can I get the parts I need in the UK. Any british people here who have done this with success post back here?thanksIm British and I done it successfully had a bit of a problem at first but a member on here "Anth" guided me through it whos also from GB. He recommended me a 3210 data cable (must be a manual switch 1 not auto) I bought 1 of these which was listed as manual but was an auto switching cable so it was no good so Anth sent me a cable he had. I just used the RX & TX and powered the hdd from another pc psu.
Laz Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 and am still getting that same bloody arrow. Zero response from the terminal. This is the 2nd RS232-TTL adaptor I have tried now.I have just found out that the owner of the drive tried to update the firmware. Apparently the update found the drive (LBA 0) and continued with the update - the firmware I get back from the diagnostics is: SD1A. Is the drive now unrecovable - and how come the firmware update went through anyway, without apparently fixing the drive?you can communicate with the drive via diagnostics ? the seagate iso ?

My BIOS finds the drive intermitently - 1 in 5 reboots and always with LB0 - and when I tested the Firmware update disk made from the "MooseDT-SD1A-3D4D-16-32MB.ISO" it displays the current firmware as SD1A... so I'm assuming that the update went through at some point. He told me that he'd tried it several times!I still cannot make any kind of connection with the hard disk via TTL - despite following the instructions to the letter. I have tried 2 TTL Convertors and 1 Nokia Cable (3210) with the same negative results. The only on-screen response has been that arrow. (Not the '>' cursor)

dskbrk Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Please help me!!!! see the pic...What Can I do?I hope you removed the isolation before giving U command...
aviko Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Please help me!!!! see the pic...What Can I do?Here is what you can do:Tell whats Model, F/W ? Do you have connected terminal to pcb or pcb with hdd?What you do between send Z and U ? Describe everything. Screenshot doesnt tell much. As I think you did nothing after Z and before U.

At this point, I am not holding out much hope. Could be other things that he's tried that I've not been told.

Do you have connected terminal to pcb or pcb with hdd?What you do between send Z and U ? Describe everything. Screenshot doesnt tell much. As I think you did nothing after Z and before U.Ok, STM3500320AS firmware MX15 problem BSY error, HDD not recognized.I have connected terminal to pcb (only).Between Z and U I have simply mounted PCB on HDD with power connected.
jls2 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Gradius/Aviko,Firstly thanks for your efforts on this issue.I performed all the steps as in the first post (Had BSY problem) .after last command F3 T>m0,2,2,,,,,22 (enter)the response i get is only 2 lines instead of 3 and says completed successfully in 0 seconds.when i connect the drive to SATA, it's now recognized by BIOS, SMART test passes ok, but:1. Can't boot from drive.2. Can't install OS on drive, OS installation can't find and drives.3. when connecting as secondary drive, I can see the drive in the device manager, but drive doesn't show up in active drives.in all cases computer is extremely slow, and takes a long time to boot.Any ideas?
