The Solution for Seagate 7200.11 HDDs

[Gradius2]

As far as I can say it went into 0 LBA while my PC booting. A month ago, when this happened, the RAID-BIOS said failed and when I deactivated the RAID-controller BIOS said "HDD S.M.A.R.T. CAPABILITY: NONE". Unfortunately my next action was not to look into the drive configuration of the Setup Utility, I first tried a few other thinks (different controller, different cables, different HDD-PCB) - all without sucess before I saw, that the drive is still recognized, but with all drive parameters set as 0 and without any capacity.

EDIT: Thanks for your help, but neither m0,1,1,0,0,0,0,22 nor m0,1,1,2,2,0,0,22 are working, the same error as described in Post 65 appears.

Please, let me know the fully model, firmware version, P/N and Date Code.

Has this fix been tested on other non-SD15, 7200.11 drives?

Hi. I hope you can use this data: ST3320613AS, P/N 9FZ162-300, FIrmware: SD11, Date Code: 08391; Site Code: TK. Many thanks for your commitment!

I'll be off for the next hours - it's 12:30am in Germany and I've to work tomorrow. Good night

Hmm, it's a 320GB. By entering S/N on Seagate's site, it appear as AFFECTED, or not?

Since Seagate is still studying if they will release a firmware for that model, the best bet is to wait to get a new firmware for your drive, or just use the warranty and RMA it, after all they'll fix and recovery the datas, so no data loss (?).

I don't want to alarm you, but this "Error 1008 DETSEC 0000500D" is related to hardware failure. Your drive is refusing to write any information to the plates, another probably is caused by a serious SD11 bug (even worst than SD15), this is why I mentioned about a firmware update first.

Also make sure you have Flow Control OFF!

So connect everything, power the drive up open hyperterminal-->connect and hit CTRL+Z - if you don't see the F3 T> prompt, something isn't right with your hookup.

i have a 7200.11 with the LBA0 problem

I'm trying to fix the drive but i cannot get any output from the console, i know the cable is working because i tested it with another device and i get output

anyone else has this problem too?

You'll need to buy this:

EDIT

You need to know better your motherboard, it HAS a Serial port, on page 2-33 from english manual, you'll see the COM port there. Is labed as COM1 too.

For CC, BSY and 0 LBA errors, is just IMPOSSIBLE to fix it by means of software only and without this guide, or something very very expensive tool (over US$ 10k) like PC-3000.

Hey, for all the guys, like me, who have only com-ports as extension cards would this rs232-ttl converter work?

WHOO HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!

Extra special thanks to everyone who worked towards the BSY fix and all those people who took the time to help me and reply to all my questions.

I couldn't wait for my rs232 adapter that i ordered so i gambled and modified a nokia 3210 data cable and it worked. (Just with the RX TX connected..And SATA power to the drive of course).

Fortunately after I recovered the BSY fault, my drive was recognised as its proper size by my bios sata.

As we speak my data is being dumped from the drive to a different one.

Guy's i owe one hell of a lot of data to you lot.

THANK YOU!!!
