SImple : the disk is failing as it is recognised as factory alias Maxtor ATHENA and not as "Maxtor 2B020H1".
And the firmware is recognised as WAH21PBZ (ROM alias) not WAH21PB0 as it should.
In a nutshell : firmware fault. Multiple causes, same effect, one medicine (if possible) : use the appropriate equipment and diagnose the fault.
