This is my hard disk, i know the password, i have tried to move it back, doesn't work, seems that the drive is in maximum security setting, ie it is locked. I am not asking you how to circumvent the security, just how to find out were the vendor track is located.

Thanks,

Try SeDiv, it can backup firmware, maybe it will give you some clue.
I have no experience with this drive, currently playing with 7200.7. It boots with heads on Vensor track on my terminal. You can check with '.', ';' commands and '%' command to find out SA tracks range.
