ST9500420AS

[sempre]

Hi to all!!

this HDD very slow to get ready, strange sounds while trying to read the data, are apparently many bad blocks with reollocated very high, but when trying to test the route heads F3 ERROR LED=> LED:000000CE FAddr:00263339 I think that command should be not compatible.

It also found that these modules are bads. BAD MODULES
0E
2F
22

Question: This problem of reading the hds are really bads blocks or problems with the modules? Or finally the heads? => I do not believe that is still bad heads
Any help would be appreciated ...

Hi,

Yepp. True. But I thought the same error LED:000000CE could be of help to me as well.

HI,

This drive is giving the same error message in UDMA when tried to fix, as well as manual method through Hyper Terminal.
True that I posted under another model, but problem is 7200.11 - 0GB failure but LED:000000CE

Any idea?

Thanks
