Seagate Terminal Commands? 7200.7 "Error Reading Reserve Tr

[BlackST]

Just a quick reply : even if some people had details right from the manufacturer, other people have only made a lot of experiments and came to the same result. In any case, it's always the same story... "will this forum jeopardize our bread and butter" ?!?

Hi,

If this help you :

Error Reading Reserve Track Defect List

"very probably the drive had some of his heads damaged or dirty
well , the heads cannot read the current cert code
It can happen the CERT is good - but the heads cannot load it ?"

7200.7 is known to suffer from dirty heads.

So I should use the terminal read commands to check each head?

you'd be doing yourself a favor not to keep messing with the terminal. at this point everything you do decreases your chances of recovering your data.
