try this one

I believe it supposed to work
(if there is no other problems, like heads for example)

these drive doesn't store ROM copy on SA and am afraid this wont work, the only possibility is to find a very close drive to do the job.

with this ROM (which is a very close ROM + the same family) you have access to SA at least ?

Hi Jermy And Guys ,
This Guy Is Not a Pleasant Person To communicate To ,This Same Message He Gave Me On DFL Forums And This is The Reply I Gave Him

"Well,
Might Be My Knowledge Is Quite Less Then You ,But Still I Can Solve 99.99% Cases ,In This Case i Asked If Interested In Sending To My Lab i Can Have a Look .Were Have I Said i Will Take Money For This infact You Are Not Aware of This Fact That if i Get a Request In a Form Of PM Also For Money I Reject Such PM's .A Professional Reply Is That i Rely On a Few Tools In My Lab And i Have The Confidence That I Can Solve It There There Should Be No Problem With That In The First Place .On The Other Hand If You Have a Issue With Me Replying To Your Posts I Am OK With That You Can Let Me Know And i Will Not Reply To Them .This Case is a 5 Minutes Job for Me To Solve .

PS : In The Future I Will Write As a Special Note That even if It Comes To My Lab i Will Do It For Free Might Be That Will Explain It Better ."

I am Of the Opinion He Has No Respect For Any Of His Seniors And He Seems To think He Knows It All ,So Whats The Point Of Explaining Him .Paras sharma Solve This Case Yourself Why Are You Taking Help From People In The First Place .In Case I Asked you About any Money Or anything even By a PM Here Or Anywhere Else Be My quest To Explain All Of Us Here ,Typical Indian Mentality " Get Work , Get it Solved For Free ,Take The Money Made And Pocket It " . GO TO HELL

Mr Amirbir

Why are you frustrated with my reply. i just ask you if you have knowledge then share it. why are you asking me to send the hdd to you. maybe you can solve it for free but i am new in the field of data recovery so i want to learn thats why i ask it in the forum. but you did not give a good reply. i hope you understand what i mean to say. and one more thing is i never try to disrespect anyone here. neither senior nor beginner.
