Hi All,
I have a Maxtor hard disk with a firmware problem. It's detected in BIOS as Maxtor CALYPSO.
The disk sounds normal and does not make any unusual sounds.
I am using PC-3000 PCI for Windows With Data Extractor. Scanning the module table it appears 2 modules are unreadable. 1 of these is critical to restore the drive to be able to recover the data (this is my goal).
I believe the disk may have a bad sector or problem reading for this module. I have run the option in PC-3000 called 'SA Surface Verification' and have ticked 'reassign bad sectors by writing' but this has not helped. The results are below as well as a screenshot attached.
Any suggestions on what else to try?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Zed
