I have a Seagate ST380011A, stays "BSY" with terminal "Error Reading Reserve track"
I exchanged the head and now i got a message
"Application code incompatible with serial flash code"

Any ideas what is wrong guys? Thank you.

yes, it wont work, i'm having a headache now I suspect the head is not compatible with the pcb.

what did u matched while changing head. I have seen few time that we have to match Config also in this particular model. Mostly it is Compatible. but some time u need to match + FW and Site Code.

thats correct DF, I matched Config code, site code and FW and now working but not smooth lots of bad sectors, but at least it is working.

Thank's for the feedbacks.
