Power your hdd with shorting read channels.

You will see something like this:
(DOS) Table Read FAIL
DOS: MAGIC CONFIG NUMBER MISMATCH
(DOS) Table Read FAIL
No HOST FIS-ReadyStatusFlags 2002A185

Then here push ctrl+z

Test heads on level 7 with command X

To stop InitiateMarkPendingReallocateRequest on F3 :

F00A2,00,22
F01E4,00,22
F057C,043C,22

These are used to disable auto relocation
....then clear smart on level 1 with N1 command.

Good luck!
