FAT copies are not identical

Hello Friends,

I have seagate U series 5, model ST320413A; FW : 3.57, the problem is FAT copies are not identical, maybe 1st FAT is broken.
If I check with Norton Partition Magic 8.05 appear error message : partition table error 108 found MBR bad, critical 501 cross-linked file were found.
I try to repair this problem with Testdisk, Diskpatch, victoria, Check FW is oke, but the problem is the same.

How to repair this problem, please.

Thanks very much

Hello,

if U have important data on this partition, save it to a safe place (maybe U will need a logical recovery program). U have to choose a method that does not write to the disk at all, preferably with an option to select which FAT to use.
After saving I would recommend formatting the partition and copy back the needed data.
Trying to repair the damage may lead to loss of important files.

regards,
pepe

Thanks Pepe

I don`t need the data, I will repair HDD and use it.

I do :
1. erase with victoria, the problem is same
2. zero fill and LLF with disk manager, the problem is same
3. dell/refresh mbr with testdisk and disk patch, the problem is same

What can I do to solved the problem ?

Thanks
