Hello fzabkar
I did a FW Defect Scan for all modules (primary and secondary) and found no problems, all read succeed..so take a backup of them.
Then i did a SA Defect Scan for all tracks on 0 head and all are ok except track 0, but after a search i found that is normal for newest drives..so backup again..
Code:
Re: read head 0 track 0 failed , this fine ?
Yes this is normal. Track 0 will not back up on WD drives. There is no check sums in the track to compare so it always shows as an error. In older drives it can do it but the newer ones does not work. I have tons of them here the same. I can get older ones to read track 0 on head 0 and 1 but most of the time one or the other fail on it.
Also for record, found 4 defects in G-List and 2462 defects in P-List
BTW i found that if i connect the drive in USB enclosure and power it on, i saw the drive on "my computer" without disconnect-reconnect. Can stay there for ever.
When i try to access it, i see all the folders and after 1 sec, disconnects by itself.
What is wrong with this drive??
EDIT: I read the ROM and take a backup of it, but i dont know how i can test if ok or not? WD said only READ COMPLETED.
