Running checksum on your modules i get :

0020=SMART & Log Current
006F=Loaded part of microprogram code

Those are the only 2 with different checksum rather then 0x00000.

FWIW, MOD 20 in my working WD2500BB drive also has a non-zero checksum. All others are OK.

In a previous thread, einstein9 has remarked that MOD 6F does not always checksum as expected on a good drive.

And we have a copy of all modules too, as a backup.

We only have a copy of the modules with single-byte MOD IDs. WDR should get the rest, otherwise I can write some tedious MHDD scripts to retrieve them.

Hi, as Spildit advised we tried the translation regeneration but it seems nothing has changed.
The message we got is:

Format Quick With P-List - Success

but we can't see any data and trying a quick scan with R-Studio we keep getting 1117 read errors.

Any advice?

Thanks,

G

honestly i would like to see this drive BEFORE it is too late.
