Any ideea?

Those drives are equipped with Poker CPU.

Ok. I will post it on Monday ( the hdd is in my office).
In the meanwhile can anybody explain me a little about DSP/Pocker ?
I have seen some CPU with DSP/Pocker mark on them but this one is Ardent.
Should I understand that Ardent CPU are Pocker CPU?
I know this is a newbee question but.....

AFAIK, Maxtor used two different chip manufacturer:

1. DSP from Texas Instrument
2. Poker/Ardent from Agere

the second goes to the Poker group (as defined by many HDD repair software).

its POKER not POCKER.

Thank you Rameez. My mistake.

OK. Poker selected. The same thing I think!
So, once again...any ideea?

Hi,

Apparently there is no working drive connected to port 170, or the prog cannot access that port (all the status and error bits are ON)
U have to reach a state where DRDY and DRCS are on and all the others OFF.

pepe

Hi

Yes , i agree with pepe, looks like there is no drive at that port. To check if the program is working, u can select port 1F0 and see if the problem remains or not (the DRDY and DRCS lights must be on, the rest of lights must be off).
Or probably it is a Win XP problem and u should use a little program Userport to gain access to that ports. You can find that program at http://files.hddguru.com.

I think I made an wrong problem exposure.
"HDD Repair 2.0" is woking. ( At least I think so, I did not repaired any hdd but I've conected working hdd on it and the ID was OK.)
My problem is with the hard disk. This is not working and the print screen is what "HDD Repair 2.0" show when I push "Disk ID"
I was asking for some help regarding what shoud I do with this hard disk.

Or maybee I am so newbee that I can not see that the software is not working as it shoud be.

I am realy in the mist here.

Hi

U can only work with drives becoming ready. But from the picture I can only see that either the port is not working (see ccc-s post, but if U say U worked with drives successfully, I think this is not the case), or the drive is completely dead, or set to slave.

pepe

OK. Now hdd is master, it identify it OK, it become ready.

If I touch any of the butons , this is what I get :

So what shoud I do next?

U should put the hdd in Safe mode jumper configuration then load the appropriate LDR from the EXECUTE button under the loader option then if command successfull press Check structure button then .

Can anybody please give me the "Safe Mode" jumper configuration for Maxtor?

For my Diamondmax 8 POKER safe mode is ['_:::] (pretend there is 2 dots above the _ ).

I see elsewhere that safe mode for a Diamondmax9 60gb Calypso SHOULD be [II:.:]

I cant find one for yours exactly. Maybe try the one I use. I also read it could be for ALL POKER drives.

Again. I cant be certain if these are right (except for the one I use). Its just what ive read on forums.

This program you are using "HDD Repair V.2.0" Where did you get it?
I have excactly same problem as you. Did you make it run with these instructions/ program/firmfare files?
:?:

I woul like also to download HDD Repair v2.0 if possible

hdd repair 2.0 seems pretty hard to get hold of.

I have.

msn/pm me if you require
