Hi there.. same problem here, or so I think... Maxtor Diamond Max 8 6E040L05 that is detected has a N40P... I searched everywhere on the internet for some help.. I found some firmware files (I think) but I don't know how to flash the HDD and I'd need some help for this... Can anyone help??

yes 20 24 and the whole hdd is full of bad sectors may be i will chek the SA surface of the hdd i think maybe that has errors .

One thing i dont understand is that why wont it rewrite why it gives error while writing .

Hi

Another N40P problem: at first, drive was having some bad sectors, i do logical scan in pc3000 isa and found, between 33000000-34000000 LBA, about 1000 bads. Add them to g-list and regenerate translator but here is the problem : when regenerate translator, it says that is complete succesfuly but in error register i can see that ABRT it lights....so i think that the operation isn't succesfuly done.

I checked the SA modules, all seems to be ok, checked grup of modules , all it's ok but where is the problem?.....could it be some garbage in modules?....

Thanks

You don't need to regenerate translator after adding defects to G-List.

I want it to regenerate translator because the bad sector remains the same every time i scan that area....i tryed to move g-list to p-list but it's not working....do you know a way i can get rid of that bad sectors?

Thanks

[rameez]

if u regenerate translator then the bad sectors will come back on the hdd .

[rameez]

What do i do about my hdd cant rewrite bad modules many of them and i checked the surface area there were many errors in SA how do i fix them should i rewrite any of the structure modules as i dont need the data i need to fix the hdd .

Can someone illuminate me how to get rid of that bad sectors?

Thanks

Bad sectors can occur due to alot of problem sometimes they occur just like that that could be removed by victoria or MHDD sometimes it occurs due to firmware problem and sometimes by scratches on the platter they can be fixed by pc3k . What kind of bad sectors do u want to repair.
