Slow responding ST1000DM003

[D_R]

Hey,

can some one help me out? I have a Seagate ST1000DM003 drive. The drive initialises normally, but stays busy for a while.

The first thing I did was, I patched sysfile 93. After the patch, the drive gets ready right after initialisation, but when I try to read the drive id, again I get the busy signal. Can some one tell me, what I can try?

If you can publish the terminal report it will help diagnose the problem,

Maybe a problem with the DOS table?

Sure and thank you for your help:

FYI, I set the additional messages flag in the sysfile 93. And that's it.

What tools do you have?

Do you have access to a terminal?

Have you checked that glist is not full?

[D_R]

Yes, I have access to the Terminal.
I checked the G-List and it was full, so I cleared it with i4,1,22

After this, I was able to access the User Area. Currently I have the problem that the drive is still relocating the sectors, right after I powered the drive on and while imaging. Even though I have turned auto relocation off in edit HDD ID.

And after a while the G-List is full again.

Can I see 2a(93)?

[colanco]

And after a while the G-List is full again.

Unfortunately, this is what it is (it is a SEAGATE drive....)

Even though I have turned auto relocation off in edit HDD ID.

This helps, but disabling the relocation will not make the damaged sectors disappear.

Change the head block, you can check them out, I don't think it's going to get much better either.....

I powered the drive on and while imaging

Unless you want to recover 1TB of data (or nearby) you would also not try to make a full-image of this drive, you may die in the attempt.

It would be better to clone at the same time as the important data is being retrieved, the first pass with very short waiting times and the next passes increasing the waiting time ( and refreshing all sectors except those read successfully).

Every now and then when the G-list is full, then re-clean and continue with the recovery.....

Good luck, you'll need it.

Thank you for the support!
