i can fool them... So a partial recovery might be possible if other surfaces are intact. I guess there is severe surface contamination, perhaps the platters were removed in an unclean environment? Perhaps the damage is a result of the same :roll: ?

This should be doable.
We recover drives with similar damage every day.

there is no working solution on pc3000 or mrt for this case only if it can be done by making modification to sa or rom?. and in this case this jop is more tricky

+1. This thing requires some additional tooling and knowledge above the usual pc3k level.
