ST336706LC problem

May 6th, 2009, 16:42

Hi, got a question for everyone. I have a Seagate Cheetah ST336706LC that has the zero capacity problem. The drive shows model and serial number but does not report as ready. I have been able to do these with SCSI Toolbox before by repairing the translator but those drives at least reported as ready. Is there another command I could send to force the drive as ready. I don’t have a PC3000 SCSI so I have to do it all with SCSI toolbox. Thank you for any help with this.

Its not possible by CDB Commands solve that problem´s because need to access to the Vendor tracks, and applied vendor commands, thats not easy and its not possible the access without tool´s , nothing u get by terminal too ,its not like F3 architecture

Regards

There must be a way without tools, but honestly I don't know how to handle it (SCSI are a marginal market at least here) without them. In any case the problem is in firmware.
