HELP!!! Maxtor 6Y080L0 problem

[Water Water]

My Maxtor 6Y080L0422001 dies out suddently with sound of touching head. Upon system reboot, only showing "CALYPSO YAR43KJZ" instead of proper HDD information. Is anyway to save all precise information from this hdd via MHDD (or possibly other utility)?

MHDD will not repair this problem.

If you need the data you will do best to contact a DR service.

Hi, your hard disk has a problem that is called System Engeneering problem, this means that part of the reserved area ( area that is used by the manufactur ) has a problem, and can be many things like ID or one of the defects lists.
The best thing to you ( IMHO ) is look for a repair center, here has people from many parts of world.

thats good because i dont have it. From reading topics i figured that i have to get drives P-LIST, G-LIST, RZTBL but i dont really know what it is:) I have to extract it , write it to drive once again. Also check if the SA has bad blocks. But please tell me where to get software to do all this and if its not a big problem some faq's or manuals. Thanks in advance!!
