ST3500312CS With SC13 - New Doubt

October 3rd, 2018, 3:12

The original problem is discussed in viewtopic.php?f=1&t=37461

Hdd ok and data recovered. HDD is also now in good condition.


Before solving this issue i asked one of my friend who owned MRT to transfer the Adaptive from patient rom to Donor rom with same version. He did it for me.

now i write that rom, then HDD is detected by Windows and working without problem.

When i connected with terminal i got

ASCII Diag mode

F3 T>

Overlay PartNum: 08061524
CFW PartNum: 11181010

Overlay CompileDate: 20090806

CFW CompileDate: 20111118



OverlayCompatibilityCheck failed


Unable to load Diag Cmd Processor Overlay

F3 T>


For V1, V4, V40 it gives error "Invalid Diag Cmd"

but hdd is working in windows and data can be read and write

What is this error? Why it comes?

Attached all 3 roms (Patient(Original), Donor, generated rom by MRT)

Just to add to what Spildit has said, the "Diag Cmd Processor Overlay" is a code module which is located in the SA. It contains the code which executes extended diagnostic commands such as V1, V4, V40. This overlay is not required for normal operation -- it is only loaded into RAM when you invoke a terminal command ("Diag Cmd") that depends on it.
