I have tried running the solutions for both the 0 lby error and the busy error with no success regardless of which order i do it.cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen2 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 You should first try to check in bios if the settings for this drive are correct.Then i would boot the seatools iso and check the drive with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cammymc Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 the bios is correct, with no problemsseatools reports error B3EAE053, failed to repair sectors as Not responding to commands.It suggests checking the cables which i already know are working, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen2 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Then i would try it on another computer (just to be sure) and contact Seagate (for replacement or firmware update). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 @cammymcThe idea, after a "seagate fix", if seagate tools detect an error, is to get the DATA you need and then send the drive to seagate for replacement.NOT that of trying booting from it NOR trying to do a Repair install on it.You should have another hard disk of adequate capacity to backup the data you can recover.If you need help in trying to recover the most data possible, just say so.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cammymc Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 I am trying to get all data off the hdd. I have a 2tb drive on usb to move the data to. Tried a progam called photorec to get the data but it said it would take 2750 hours. I need to get it to a state where windows can recognize it or another method to get the data.I have tried other computers with the same issues.

VideoRipper Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I'm afraid you're having some sort of hardware (or firmware of the hardware) problem;there's no (low level) Windows based utility that can help you with that You'll have to use low level tools (either over SATA or over the diagnostic interface)to regain access again and transfer as much as you can.At least... that's my 2 €-cents worth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cammymc Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 any that you would recommend to do the direct sata access Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoRipper Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Sorry for the misunderstanding: I meant that (depending on the problem) you should use low-level SATA-access or diagnostics-port access (which is very low level) You *could* try SeaTools for Windows first (this does a higher-level diagnosticstest for the hardware).If that doesn't give you any insight of the real problem, you can go to a lower levelby using SeaTools for DOS (runs from a self-bootable CD-R).Once you're able to fully access the drive "The normal way", you can try to use (higher-level) data-recovery software; since Windows NT (2000, XP, Vista, 7) doesn't offer reallow level access to hardware (without special drivers), this will most likely be Linuxor DOS-based software.Sorry... I can't recommend any software package, since I'm not familiar with your problemin particular; first get the drive running again (probably using the diagnostics port),then you can try to salvage your data.Greetz,Peter.

cammymc Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 I ran the seatools from dos and it told me that the drive did not respond to commands, it let me in to analyize it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoRipper Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) In that case it looks like there's something terribly wrong with the drive If you know your way in electronics (and harddisk-commands), you can try to experiment with things like playing with the tables inside the drive (just like the BSY/LBA0 tricks in that other thread); my guess is that you can consider your drive (and its data) as lost.BTW. Your drive isn't making some weird clicking sound (rrrrr-tick...rrrr-tick), is it?Greetz,Peter. Edited March 31, 2010 by VideoRipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I guess that if windows can start booting at it, it should not be that bad. It surely has some bad sectors, possibly unrecoverable, but it seems to me like it is mostly functional, or at least it is to try and recover the DATA before starting fiddling with it.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
