Alternatively, see the following thread for an easy DIY fix:

I do not recommend DIY here if data is important, contact a member here in this forum called "prodata"

Agree what you think is a bug is not a bug and you do need some help on this one. Note if you try to fix the bug of 0 LBA or even the Busy one and this is not what is wrong with this HDD then kiss your data good bye. Contact prodata and go from there he can diagnose this one for you and you can get back your data when it is done. Good luck I would not really follow advice of DIY if you kind of think your data is important to you.

Contact Seagate. They are still offering free data recovery for drives affected by the BSY bug. Otherwise a DIY fix will cost you a few dollars and a little time.
