WD1500ADFD UNCR IDNF

June 10th, 2008, 12:20

I've a WD1500ADFD but in mhdd or victoria it shows WD1500BB with capacity less then 150GB. When i do scan, it starts scanning and after LBA 31744 it start showing Bad sector for the rest of the drive. Error include UNCR and IDNF. Also when i try to image it, its doing a power reset once it hit that sector. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Did you try to continue the image after this point + some MB?

It looks like if the drive hits this LBA, gives up the life....

Imaging software freezes once it hit this LBA and reset power.

Either bad heads or damaged firmware module.

This drive is not supported by WD Doctor, hence the error.
