[lasek]

Hello,

I have USB drive WD My Passport Ultra. Disk from this drive is clickling. So I would like replace this disk using SATA disk.

So I have very good drive with sata PCB interface
WD5000LUCT-63C26Y0
PCB:2060-771959-000 rev A

USB damaged drive is
WD5000LMVW-11VEDS6
PCB:2060-771962-000 REV P1

So I replaced PCB and ROM chip between both disks.

Now good disk with USB PCB is recognized by Windows. But in device manger when I tried incialize drive then I have error Input/Output. Could you help me what I should do to using this disk with USB pcb?

Given that the drive was clicking, there's a 99.9% chance that the issue is internal. Probably is failed read/write heads, possibly corrupted service area or damaged media. USB drives almost never fail due to PCB failure. Replacing the board with a SATA one is usually just done so as to get access to properly evaluate the drive using tools like PC-3000, MRT, DDL, etc. Unless you have such a system I doubt you'll be able to accomplish much.
