What tools do you have for working on this drive?
Is your hdd identified as 0 byte in BIOS or totally undected?
Have you attempted some DIY solution as m0,2,2,,,,,22 command in terminal?

Sometimes this command do things worse, so the best thing to do is to backup SA before giving this terminal command.
I had last year one Seagate 7200.11 which was identified as 0 byte, i got error everytime i tried to regenerate translators with m0,2,2,,,,,22 comand:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=27967&p=192130&hilit=7200.11+ST3500320AS+%270+LBA%27+can%27t+be+fix#p192130

customer told me that the drive was handled by another lab before sending it to me (that lab asked him to much money so he refused their quote), it seemed to me that there was some kind of damage on some defect list but at the end i found out that p-list mod was overwritten by p-list from another drive (p-list from Barracuda 7200.12).
My conclusion was that first lab intentionally took data in hostage because customer refused their quote! ASSHOLES!!!

Without original P-list is not possible to recover data
, i hope for you that this is not your case. I wish you that there is just some kind of error on defect list that needs to be fixed.

Hello Michael,

Unfortunately I think this is a similar case. The drive comes from another laboratory in which he guaranteed data but at a higher price.

I do not think rewritten the p -list (it could be even criminal)
but I think if they could change the offset of the module.

Anyone know how to check the integrity of the module ??? (I could publish the p-list module)

thanks

i had a similar issue. my disk is st31000528as. i hear one click at boot. P-list couldn't be read.
it's obvious that there is a bad sector this area.

at the middle of reading 1b sys file it aborts. 750kb/1894 kb

What can i do this drive?

is it possible recover data?

Hi ,
Plist could be damaged or the location where it is might have a bad sector/spot .Plist is there in copy 0 of head 0 and copy 1 of head 1 .This is also there in sys files as my friend spildit pointed out .Could you please share your hdd model no and firmware also and upload the rom in the forum .

PS : Folks might be i am wrong but once translator is created and working why the hell is p list required .Might be in seagate it could be i am not very good in f3 but improving .

Hi folks,

Just finished successfully a DR job from a similar case. P-List was corrupted probably by previous lab, but some forensic skills + spent over a week with PC3K we recovered all data. PM me if you want some info.

We were also told nothing could be done to save the data in such short time for such a case.

Cheers
