The Solution for Seagate 7200.11 HDDs

**tostator** · March 17, 2009

Another question: once I've unlocked my drive and saved all my info, I'll return my drive to the wholeseller for a change. The thing is that it would be interesting to return it blocked...

Is there any way to make the drive fail again, in order to return it blocked?

Thanks

...Duplicated post. Sorry...

I have a 1.5 TB seagate that I updated from SD17 to SD1A back in December at Seagate's suggestion. That drive is now dead exhibiting similar problems to the BSY error. It spins up, doesn't get overly hot, is not making any noise, and won't post or show up at all. I have over 1.2 TB of data on this drive and would like to recover it. I do have backups of the data in other places, but the drive was part of a WHS data pool and I have no clue what actual data is on the drive.

1. How do I check the drive to see if its experiencing the BSY error?

2. If it is experiencing the BSY error, will the instructions & commands here fix it or do I need to use different commands since it already has the SD1A firmware?

Also, I noticed that the newest firmware is SD1B for the 1.5 TB drive on the firmware download page, but a Seagate technical support team lead told me on Monday that the SD1A that I have on the drive is the latest firmware for that drive.

Yes, I did. I've tried all the possible combination of ways to connect, just couldn't get F3 T> command prompt.

At one point, I was suspecting that the RS232-TTL is not working, so I did the loop back test suggested on

http://sites.google.com/site/seagatefix/

and I was able to see the character that I type. This indicated that the device is working.

Here is the detail of my drive:

Maxtor DiamondMax22 (STM31000340AS)

S/N: 9QJ29MTJ

P/N: 9GT158-325

Firmware: MX15

Date Code: 09153

1. MHDD let you check the drive to see if its experiencing the BSY error.

2. If it is experiencing the BSY error you check the new commands of SD1A firmware.

The m command finish with a comma: m0,2,2,,,,,22,

You can see all commands of your 7200.11 disc with this:

Ctrl+z

dku 5 cable loopback test

hi,i tried dku-5 cable loopback test, shorted blue and white, also tried blue and red. no luck. My question is do i need

connect some AA batteries to do the loopback test?

**cavediver** · March 19, 2009

Pichi,

Thanks for your help and suggestions. I downloaded MHDD, but couldn't figure out how to use it, so I downloaded Victoria for Windows and followed the tutorial in another thread. The drive would even not show up in Victoria, so I figure the drive is really dead. Seagate is sending me a new drive tomorrow.

You burn the MHDD iso and you reboot the PC.

With this MSDOS program you can test if your hdd has BSY flag.

So, are you suggesting to boot from the MHDD iso?

green and white wires worked for the dku-5 loopback test. then i connect to the hard drive.and power on.

i got random characters

any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Don't be discouraged - Try Again... I had to connect the ground cable to the third pin (after The Rx an TX) - get it done and boy I was happy to see my lost data alive and kicking!!

If you get all these crazy characters just reinitiate the Hyperterminal session.

Found also that a low battery (did not use the power supply) and no so good connections are a big source of trouble.

**bbard** · March 20, 2009

Yes, I did. I've tried all the possible combination of ways to connect, just couldn't get F3 T> command prompt.
At one point, I was suspecting that the RS232-TTL is not working, so I did the loop back test suggested on
http://sites.google.com/site/seagatefix/
and I was able to see the character that I type. This indicated that the device is working.
Here is the detail of my drive:
Maxtor DiamondMax22 (STM31000340AS)
S/N: 9QJ29MTJ
P/N: 9GT158-325
Firmware: MX15
Date Code: 09153

guys, arie07's right, if the loop test works but not with the HDD... i think it means you need to GND the HDD with your device (eg: DKU-5), at least that's what happened in my case.

**arie07** · March 20, 2009

Safe now to flash firmware? Since the last release of the firmware almost 2 months have passed, I would like to ask you guys if it is now safe to flash the firmware with the latest version. Do you know of problems arising from flashing the drive with the latest firmware? - Lots of thanks to Gradius, Pichi, Fatlip and all that contributed to this topic. I was able to unbrick my Diamondmax 22 500Gb HD and have all my data back.

**andrewroth** · March 20, 2009

Argh, I got to the powerdown stage, took out my card, tried to power up, and got this nasty clicking sound:

R_MIC_090319-223107.wav

and no further response from the drive. any ideas?
