SAMSUNG HM160JC Harddrive problem

[inwl]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with my 2.5" hard drive. Somethings happened and it's name has changed to "SAMCUNG HJ1&0JC". Now I want to bring it back. I tried many things but i failed. Can I renew firmware? May be resolve this name problem. Depend on this problem, Samsung disk utility programs did not work. So i thought i have to change disk name to "SAMSUNG HM160JC". May this will work. Where can i download the firmware files? Or what can I do else?

Thanks for your help....

There is not a problem with your hard drive, I think the problem is with the connection. Is this an internal or external HDD?

hello,
i think it' not enough information from you about this case. we need more detail. e.g SA report

Do not mess about with the firmware.

Sounds like a bad connection somewhere, either between the PCB and the PC or on the PCB itself.

Wrong connectivity with the drive, either the Case.

Hi again,

This is an External hard drive, it's Lacie. So i take it out from case and plug it in to my laptop. I tried again, but program could not see SAMSUNG, it's recognize SAMCUNG :S ??. Only one program find the correct name and model, which is Hard Disk Low Level Format Tool 2.36 b1181. Now i am trying to format drive with this tools (over USB connection, externally). I thing it will finish Low level formatting. But, i will i do after that to use my HDD again?

If your 'tools' don't work, drive needs to be serviced but it's not worth the cost. P.s. Samsung does not release fw. , in any case I can fix either Rom or Sa if possible.
