is my Maxtor 6V250F0 dead?

[NSsherlock]

hi there all,

i am looking for some support with recovering my hdd (or data)

i have just downloaded mhdd32ver4.5.exe, and made a bootable floppy,
earlier I used an boot-able 1GB-USBstick, I will explain later why i decided to start all over again with a floppy

the command ID returned:
Maxtor 6V250F0 LBA:490,234,752
SN V501CPDG FW: VA111630 cache: 16384KB size= 239372MB
...
Init drive: [recal]
[color=#FF0000]RECAL FAIL (i don't understand what it means)[/color]

the command EID returned:
Maxtor 6V250F0 LBA:490,234,752
SN V501CPDG FW: VA111630 cache: 16384KB
Supports: LBA48 HPA AAM DLMC LBA MS16 DMA (UDMA6, MWDMA2)
SMART: Disabled SelfTest: Supported Errorlog: Supported
Security: High, OFF. size= 239372MB

the following specifications at the top of the screen are marked with a blue background
INDX, DRSC, DRDY, HPA

MHDD>scan displays only exclamation marks !!!!! and an rapidly increasing "! ABRT"
the scan end with a blue screen, telling me that there is not enough room available for the log file,
this is why i quit working with the bootable USB stick.

MHDD>SMART ATT (I have read these parameters are the most imported ones)
Reallocated Sectors Count 253/ 253/ 0 (val/ worst/ raw)
HDA temperature 37/ 253/ 42 (val/ worst/ raw)
Ultra ATA CRC Error Rate 199/ 199/ 0 (val/ worst/ raw)

can you already conclude something about the condition of my hdd,
what information must i supply for a better conclusion
what are my following steps to recover the data

thanks already

Hi,

Probably some damage to the SA of the drive which causes to block access to the data; quite easy to fix for a professional with the proper tools, but unfortunately not by yourself.

Seems definitely SA problem.

Hi Guys, SA?

Note Model Correct, SN Correct -->>> DISK module probably OK.
Note LBA correct -->>> Plist OK, GList OK (probably)
Reads Smart -->> Smart Ok? probably key mods correct.
FW Version == VA111630 -->> Mode OK.

Translator? - mostly linked to a faulty PList - probably NOT!.

Scan !!!!!!!!!!!!! ABRT - I would diagnose - most likely one head faulty

Diagnostics - the key to making the correct solution path.

You are wrong. Most recent case i had from Sabre that gave ABRT error was from bad GLIST.

btw, GLIST is part of SA, and also part of TRANSLATOR. And if PLIST has bad module header or checksum, I am pretty sure will give same symptoms too.

Again, is very likely SA fault, almost certainly repairable by a professional.

Assuming diagnostic is correct...

[BlackST]

If one head was faulty, it would click furiously or not init and work like that.
PLIST/TRANSLATOR : model = 6V250F0. Does it say something ? It's not Calypso

Know how - the key to makE things work.

[pinkST]

I suggest you take some VA11163 drives and muck up the G-List.
When you have done this report here what you find.
Be honest now

[BlackST]

Again, you most probably don't know how VAxxxx and FAMILY work. If you want info, this is the wrongest way.

[pinkST]

BlackST,

Read here : translator-for-sabre2-t7448.html

That fella coffeebean - he's quite smart even when Dobre was still asking questions.

Now, do as I say : modify 23 or 2C and report here. C'mon - Just do it !!

btw. Did you notice how "pro" was looking for button to press - (translator) ha, ha, ha, that was funny.

[pinkST]

Hi hddguy,

Induction - you should study the full meaning of this word.
It will help you enormously with statistics and learning how to do diagnostics
more successfully.

Induction - the trap for many amateurs - in all spheres of life.

What happened saturday night?

[BlackST]

What happened saturday night?

[zebong]

we have to wait for next Friday

[pinkST]

C'mon BlackST, hddguy, Dobre

Do as I say, read mods 23 or 2c on a SABRE and report here what you find.

Why you all so shy now?

Don't you want to answer the OP. He did ask the question politely.

zebong I remember you when you first arrived at ace

to foolus is nOtsOEAsy (remember him?)

[zebong]

zebong I remember you when you first arrived at ace

Great , when you say remenber me at ACE did i meet you in Russia or in other country

[pinkST]

You will just have to wait until Friday.

[BlackST]

Pink, why then don't you suggest the OP what to do ? Without tools, of course ( if the OP had access to an UDMA, why get here ? ) . It's your turn now.

[coffeebean]

Yelo ta ya all long time no write.

Is BlackST up to his nonsense again?

Why don't you answer the question BlackST.

[pinkST]

Hi coffeebean Yelo 2u2.

This BlackST I think he's too scared to answer the question.

C'mon BlackST answer the question.
