Hi,

This website is awesome with lots of info on HDDs ...

I have been doing recovery without any great tools like PC3000 or salvation or atola.

Seagate Terminal cable is wonderful tool , does anybody know how to load firmware on to the Seagate hardisk using

Serial cable.

The diagram is in the files.hddguru.com site.

Thanks,
likeminders

But as usual better don't do home recovery and send the drive to pro :lol:

Because FW,CERT,AppCode,OVL loading is easies operations with pc3k

@BlackST,

Then what is the meaning of open forums... any idea ...leave it if you dont know.

All,

As I dont have any pc3000 any hardware tools, the 500GB fix posted on this website inspired me
If anyone have any doc,text related they can share it.

Regards,

Download STMEM it has the ability to read/write seagate firmware but you need to study it well , you can get help from russian forums regarding STMEM .

hmm you don't really need to be a brain surgeon to be able to write this SW for yourself :idea:

Sometimes I think its better for most people to learn programming and then do it yourself!
