Can you explain what's the drive beaviour?

From Ace website: http://www.acelaboratory.com/pc3000.udma.ver4.5.4.php

We have introduced a password removal mode via Terminal. This mode is important for 7200.12 hard disk drives and drives similar to them in which "No HOST Fis-ReadyStatusFlags" message appears in Terminal when service information is not available and HDD doesn't get ready state.

I just love Google!

Hello again,

sorry for my incomplete error description.
the problem ist, that the drive isn't recognized in the bios...

[dmarques]

But it spins, doesn't spin? Heads knock, doesn't knock? Stops spindle or keeps running?

[netviewdm]

spins up, just the initial sound from the head - so i would say normal sound.
already tried to change the pcb - but also no detection with the other pcb...

[dmarques]

Well, if you simply swap PCB, you don't have a chance, as ROM is unique for those drives, and you have to swap it also.

Do you have any experience on DR?

[netviewdm]

yes but its some time ago... (in those days where maxtor had stucking heads in the park position, manually repair mft and so on...)
but with the new drives not really - but i think i'd be able to do some work with the terminal modus, if this would help like the bsy trouble of other seagate hdd (ok, not really the challenge )

[dmarques]

Well, if you have you can start to swap PCB+ROM and check beaviour.
After that, try to check if you can access anything on SA like defect lists for example.

[northwind]

Since disk spins up but stays busy, why would you change PCB?

As Dick's post says, I think UDMA can handle this.

Hello,
I have the same drive with a similar problem. It spins up, starts initialization, several clicks and spins down. The strange thing is that it doesn't appear in terminal! I used the settings for for Barracuda 7200.11 and 7200.12. and the terminal connection is checked OK. Any suggestions?

[dmarques]

If the drive is spinning down, most probably you have heads damaged.

[BGman]

If the drive is spinning down, most probably you have heads damaged.

Can this explain the lack of terminal connection?

[dmarques]

That can be due to several things.
Terminal can be damaged, USB cable can be damaged or even the drive may have terminal locked.

[BGman]

Terminal is fine, no doubts about it. No USB cable.So what do you mean by
"the drive may have terminal locked" ?

[dmarques]

There are certain drives where you can't access terminal log unless you short circuit the reading channel.

[reza.farah]

if the terminal is working properly so you have problem in HDD head.

[BlackST]

There are certain drives where you can't access terminal log unless you short circuit the reading channel.

And some othere where it is not enough either
