You have many bad sectors.
If you need your data refer to a recovery professional.
If yoou don't need your data, you have to "fix your bad sectors and after you would be able to take care of the SMART.

The drive has problems. Backup data and get new. I can fix it.

Hi,
think's to all for your answer
I have no lost data. I always make a data backup.
By the past I've made on my 6B120P0 HDisk a "full format" (factory format) using seagate tools but this didin't fixe the probleme.

@BlackST, would you please explain how to fixe the 6B120P0 issue?

Best Regards

PS: sorry, as you can see, my english isn't good.

Hi, arabeman14,

This drive is allready too old to use more...
Additionally, have some bad sectors in the system area (SA), this is why you can't enable the smart.
I suggest, copy the data out and get a new drive....
BlackST have right, only selfscan can fix your problem, or an expensive hw/sw kit like PC3000.

Janos

[BlackST]

You have to send it to me...

[arabeman14]

Thank's to all

I'll replace my current Maxtor device by another one (not Maxtor nor seagate )


Best Regards,
Arabeman
