WD800 sometimes ok sometimes not

Hi,

I received a WB800 hdd for recovery. The problem is the disk spin normally after a while (les than 30 seconds) it stops spinning., and start again. There is no knocking sound. Everything seems normal than stop spinning sometimes.
It is recognized by bios some times correctly. But it gives an error as secondary hdd fails F1 to continue.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

when you shoot from the hip - you miss very often.

In this case most likely one head not reading correctly
and fw is just perfect.

Can you tell me more clearly, after @bahacevik do that, what happen and how to recover data after disable the head?

he is telling that the hdd detects and runs sometimes and sometimes not
so when it runs sometimes then get the data .

To repair the hdd use pc3k isa to disable the faulty head and get repalce it with good head .

I have made a copy of bad Samsung hdd with Media Tools and able to get %80 of the data. Some jpeg files are bad but most of them are ok. Customer accept the data.
