I have a Seagate ST380011A, stays "BSY" with terminal "Error Reading Reserve track"
I exchanged the head and now i got a message
"Application code incompatible with serial flash code"

Any ideas what is wrong guys? Thank you.

what did u matched while changing head. I have seen few time that we have to match Config also in this particular model. Mostly it is Compatible. but some time u need to match + FW and Site Code.
