happens from time to time. On some swaps i can get only certain heads to read so i image em and do another swap to image the rest. Apparently it was a SOP with Zeus drives =) ( had a few successes with them using up to 4 donors on a single drive )

very helpful thanks

Sounds like you'll have to pull another stunt like that one you did for the singer dude

Hello buster80, I am having problems with the same WD20EARS 2TB harddrive, see my topic at: not-recognized-harddrive-t22923.html . My harddrive is not being recognized. Do you think swapping the head will help in my situation? Or do you think i should first replace the pcb, to see if this works?
Do you know a good tutorial which will help me with my situation?
