Hello everyone, I hope someone in this community could help me to understand what's wrong with my old hard drive
Forewords:
All sensible data has been already backuped, so I have no reason to contact an expensive recovery service. I'm trying to do my best only for fun, but only in the last two months I'm discovering how tricky is an HDD (not mentioning the mechanical aspect)
The HDD is quite old (2012) and I've already replaced it with an SSD and moved as secondary disk.
The HDD started to desappear occasionally at latest boots requiring a reboot to be correctly recognized by bios, so its failure wasn't a surprise.
1. The disk never sounded weird, so I thought that replacing the pcb could restore the drive. Of course I was wrong.
2. Searching on this and other forums I tried to apply the "Busy bug" procedure, I stopped after clearing the SMART statistics because I realized that I was on the wrong direction and I could only make it worse
3. While waiting for another ST1000DM003 (used but healthy), eventually to sacrify as "donor", I studied better the Seagate Terminal and I gathered several informations (attached)
Now I'm supposing that the fw Is not loaded, this could explain why the Terminal is unlocked, differently for the "donor" HDD, but I need a confirmation from some expert.
The P-List is readable and huge.
If I'm right and the firmware is not loaded, the next question will be: can I upload the firmware into the ram directly from terminal or at least try to rewrite it? There's a free-ware/trial tool for that?
Thank you in advance for your attention, follows an extract from the console activity attached to the post,
Alessio
