I have a problem with Maxtor Rigel <51024h2> hdd have many of these hdd and they have alot of 1.5s sectors and i have tried low level formatting the hdd but no use still the same position then i use pc3000 isa to chk firmware structure all the modules were ok but in the overlay section 13,16,17 were currupt i see - in id and cheksum .

My question is how do i repair or rewrite these overlays .

Thanks in advance .

Sorry i did not understand.

Start Selfscan

Rewrite them with same checksum from other drive.

When u check the firmware structure of a harddrive in pc3k isa first comes the information part then comes the module part then comes the OVERLAY part in that if have errors in 16,17and 13h overlay parts need to correct them . What modules do i write to repair these overlays ?

I think u the Selfscan will not complete if there are errors in the firmware of the hdd .

Second portion of firmware overlays.

i did rewrite the module 4F from the identical drive now its got worst it has got alot of bad sectors and when i load from isa the drive it says error loading configuration module , any suggestion how to fix and do u have to do something after u write overlay module like regenerate translator or write any thing else with it to make it compatible i m really confused in this issue .
