Hi Guys

I have Seagate ST3750630AS (750G), reported as 700Gbytes (698.64Gb), Firmware DE12 (DELL)

The drive spin up and reach RDY, I could see the partitions, but all failed to open. Scan MFT no luck, and during the scan sometimes it stops and not RDY.

Terminal error as follows:

Upon power up, i get this: "RequestResumeSaveSmartFrame"

Do you guys think this is the same 0 LBA problem with translation issue?

thank you for any feedback.

That drive isn't one affected by the 7200.11 0 LBA problem. This drive also is a 7200.10, which is a much better drive. The reported capacity is correct. The 0 LBA problem results in the drive never working, and reporting its capacity as zero.

It may be bad head(s) severe bad blocks or PCB
Such drives may hang once you try to read sectors from bad head (or if drive hits a scratch) after that only power cycle helps
These drives have ~150000-200000 sectors per head
The terminal message is normal for this firmware revision

Hi Zorb, I think this drive is reported to be a defect too , yes this is 7200.11

TerraNova, your drive needs FW update but it will no solve the problem your drive got something else

3750630 is a 7200.10 I thought. Interesting. Either way, the 0 LBA problem doesn't manifest that way, sounds to me like intermittent trouble reading SA.

I suspect MFT is badly damage?
This is what i get when trying to access the partition:
INDEX entry has BAD MFT Record 4 $AttrDef
INDEX entry has BAD MFT Record 8 $BadClus
INDEX entry has BAD MFT Record 6 $Bitmap
INDEX entry has BAD MFT Record 7 $Boot
INDEX entry has BAD MFT Record 11 $Extend
INDEX entry has BAD MFT Record 2 $LogFile
INDEX entry has BAD MFT Record 1 $MFTMirr
INDEX entry has BAD MFT Record 36 $Recycle.Bin
INDEX entry has BAD MFT Record 9 $Secure
INDEX entry has BAD MFT Record 10 $UpCase
INDEX entry has BAD MFT Record 3 $Volume
INDEX entry has BAD MFT Record 8568 autoexec.bat
INDEX entry has BAD MFT Record 38 Boot
INDEX entry has BAD MFT Record 8571 bootmgr

After that the drive need power OFF and ON again in order to get it to detect.

Image the drive with power on/off feature checked. How much can you grab before it needs a shutdown?

Unable to image, it gives error "A" in deepspar, in DE it becomes not ready and i had to power on off manually

Image in reverse?

unable.

As Doomer said, power cycling seems to work but damn slow.

Can damaged MFT causes cloning to crawl?

Physically damaged anything can cause it to crawl. Corrupted MFT will image fine.

Sector-by-sector image in reverse will not have anything to do with the MFT. If you're unable to do that, I would guess that the MFT being broken is a symptom of your real problem, which is that the drive is broken.

thank's guys and beto, the drive indeed has bad surface which messed up the MFT, i am cloning the drive now in reverse but its very very slow.

Is there any way to get around this? Have a 7200.11 now that is completely fine from about 10M LBA to the end but from 0-10M it freezes up about every 10000 and only a power cycle will get it going again. Damn annoying.
