March 12th, 2025, 11:04

Hello Guys, i have this drive that spins right and became Ready but can't detect the family in PC3K because its SMR HDD and i have to unlock the ROM. I read the ROM in a external programmer but when i try to unlock SED HDD gives me this message "Wrong ROM header block ID". I think i read well, the size of the file is 512 bytes, but PC3K doenst open it. Does any one know what is the problem? Thank you. Best regards.
