Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 user partition format error

[grigoreee]

Hi,
I have run 1>N1 (recreated smart sector)
now when i run the command to format user partition i receive Missing Critical Parameter error
(T>m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22)
any solution?

The hdd model is ST3250310AS

The m0 commands only works on 7200.11 and later drives.
Your drive is prior to F3 architecture.

Do you want to get data from the drive or just repair it?

If you want data from the drive, maybe someone else can help you here.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

(If you just want to repair the drive (all data will be destroyed!!!), you can try to run selfscan.
Execute the command T>N10,,22 and restart the drive, so selfscan will start.
It can take up to some hours to 2 days to finish.
When it finishes succesfully, do T>N50,,22 and restart the drive again and do a full erase / low level format. Then do full sector test.)

The data is not important.

Code:

T>i4,1,22

[grigoreee]

T>i4,1,22
running this will only erase glist ?
i have one 80gb hdd unusable because of wrong command...

Where can i find a list of command for 7200.10?

[arztt]

Yes, this command only will erase G-List.

What do you want to do after erasing G-List? Repair bad sectors?

[grigoreee]

I have already run the
1>N1 command (create smart sector)
How do i format the user partition
and is it save to run T>i4,1,22 without having to upload the firmware back?

[arztt]

Yes, i4,1,22 is safe and only takes 1 second to finish.

Please answer our questions.
Do you want to repair sectors?

There are no user partition format commands for your drive.
On your old drive you need to run selfscan, if you want to repair the drive.
If yes, follow my first post here. (You don't need to upload firmware back at N10,,22 selfscan.)
