In that case you have to write the first 4 sectors of vendor track.....of course from an identical model.

Get an identical model and copy vendor track, first 4 blocks are sufficient.

30 is 4 heads which is fine according to application code
you need to fix stuff because it's empty
"Stuff" contains ID information on Seagate drives (like model name and LBA sectors number, so it's important)
Stuff located on vendor track

WD doesn't allow you to send commads using terminal.
Seagate - Ither PC3K Seagate manual or search function of this forum. I've posted the list of terminal commands for Seagate in one of my posts.

Hi, it is best to contact someone who has the experience. You will nt be able to find step by step solution, and you will need expensive equipment. Pepe is one member you can contact.
