I have been facing a common problem with Toshiba MQ01ACFxxx series. Received quit a few drives with bad Heads / Knocking condition. After head replacement the knocking stops but drives still does not go to ready state and keeps trying to initialise(Minor Calibration sound can be heard)
has anyone faced this kind of issue with these drives. I have used heads with fully matching drives.
Any hint appreciated.

Would I be right in assuming that the same problem exists if you swap heads between two matching, working donors? If so, then would it be advisable to transfer the donor's head adaptives to the patient?

Hello bro ..next time try this way
Enter the utility,select the right model. wait to see drd and dsc,it may take time or some time all light is blank just give a soft rest
then go to 'edit hdd ID', the menu will appear with hdd information click ok, if not repeat this again(on/off the hdd /wait/ edit hdd ID)
refresh ID if it's id ok .. then re-enter the utility .. everything will be fine .
