Changing the head map in ram is not worked.
I think the problem as you said: "Probably a weak head, preventing full translator initialisation"
Thank you pcimage!

1. upload all modules to donor drive
2. start donor drive with patient PCB
3. spin down donor drive and hot swap PCB to patient drive
4. spin up patient drive with it's own PCB
5. let's imaging

These five steps are work, now imaging the drive
Thanks the help for all.

PS: The donor drive is a WD10EACS with the same head map.

It's called a "smart hot swap":

Thanks fzabkar.
Yes it's a smart hot swap, but i copied only the firmware modules, not the whole SA tracks, because the SA tracks has several bad sectors.

Thanks!
WDR head diagnostics "says" that the heads are ok, thats why i use smart hot swap method, but now i know, the head stack exchange would have been enough for initializing the translator, and imaging.
