Hallo all:

I borrowed a PC machine to see if I can get data off a non booting Seagate HD

as a Mac guy - am not familiar with Hyperterminal or Putty - so looking for some step by step instructions on how to do this

anyone , can you direct me a bit here ?

cheers in advance :

Not so hard. There are plenty of post here and all over the internet on this one. You can search here for 7200.11 or 7200.12 busy or 0 LBA and you will find all that you need to know and plenty of guides and what nots. Just search

Here is the "standard" 7200.11 DIY bug fix procedure:

ES.2 drives use the same procedure, but with a little twist:

hallo ;

I keep getting error message in hyperterminal - about another program using telephony -

and cant find ports - to set port setting in XP -

with modem on I have " connect thur com 3 - with modem disabled - only TCP shows

cheers:

Which interface cable / circuit are you using?

If you are using a USB-serial TTL cable, then you need to install the driver for the USB-RS232 bridge chip. This should have been supplied with the cable.

Cheers for the reply :

i am using a USB to IDE / SATA cable with separate power cable

so do I use the IDE/SATA driver or USB to 232?

cheers:

The drive has a 4-pin connector for serial terminal access. You need a separate interface cable/circuit to access the Tx/Rx pins in this connector.

ok - I was thinking a terminal report could be done with the IDE/SATA cable - the 3/4 pin cable was for the bricked /BSY HD

order cable - will report once I get all this figured from the OVERCLOCKED site direction

cheers for your patience

enjoy weeks end
