Why did you put on ROM from 6Y080L0?

Why not the ROM from the original board?

i thought the problem in original rom so i switch it with other one but still the same and does the ldr loaded in sa or in ram

There is never problem in the ROM . Rom is changed when change pcb so it matches the firmware code of the hdd . The utility does not enter this hdd bcz
there may be a fw problem or errors in uba .[/b]

You should update your PC3000 PCI to a newer version.
