Hello
The drive in topic (Toshiba 500GB) shows ABRT.(No user area access)
Customer said (the laptop freeze and he restarted then the drive become unreadable)

The drive spins normally with full calibration and Model ID, FW and SN. But no user area access.
G-list is empty and P-list is empty as will.

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

No need tell. Answer is in topic header MQ02ABF050H
This explains why user area without access, and solution will come faster to the mind.

That's it.
NAND cleared.

How did you clear NAND on this Toshiba SSHD ?
Have you done a secure erase on donor drive and then swapped pcb into patient drive ?

The H at the end of the model number distinguish SSHD drive and HDD drive has the same model number without letter H.

For me a Toshiba model ending in "H" means just that the drive starts and by itself if "discovers" some sort of problem with one or more heads and places that H on the model to alert for that issue.

there is a 'H' on the label also

Hello to the community, this is my first question in the forum, I have registered because I have a problem with the hard drives that is discussed in the forum, in my case it is the model
TOSHIBA MQ02ABF050H OF 500 GIGAS HYBRID.

They have been installed in some hp elitedesk 800 g2 65w desktop mini pc.

I installed them with w7, and I constantly have the problem that is reported in the forum, the image is frozen, I turn off the button, and the operating system no longer starts, I have not managed to recover with a windows 7 bootable usb, here they comment that It has been solved by deleting nand, but I don't understand the procedure, could someone explain to me?

Is there a firmware update on these hard drives that fixes this problem?

Thanks for the answers in advance.
All the best.

I don't know how exactly fix this in a certain sure way BUT i would try reducing the size occupied by the partitions (example NOT using first and last GB).
More exact way may be knowing where exactly is the bad sector and exclude it from the usable space...

Sorry if i am not much of help with my comment but i need to contact you and i don't know other way.
Can u PLEASE write me to my nick/username at the most used email? It's about the elitedesk g4
Thank YOU.
