Just separating out my st1000dl001 busy issue from the other seagate st1000dl002 busy thread

viewtopic.php?f=1&t=26068


For mine
when putting in online mode (^R) in Terminal, was getting
lots of errors shown


(DOS)STE NEED: 0x039A3533 - 0x039A4570
..
InitiateMarkPendingReallocateRequest for disc_lba: 039A356B!
(DOS) Read Unrecoverable Error
InitiateMarkPendingReallocateRequest for disc_lba: 039A356C!
(DOS) Write Error
(DOS) Write Failure Reallocation started.
(DOS) AutoWriteReallocationEnabled and Reallocation Request Issued. !84320091
(DOS) WriteFailureReallocateLBARequest is executed successfully.
(DOS) Read Unrecoverable Error
etc etc


Thanks to help from waqas_ali766 and some congen (F commands or rather flag settings) I was able to get the drive to skip reallocation and go ready
and start to extract the still readable sectors

Unfortunately, and not surprisingly, it freezes after copying of approx. 300MB's worth of sectors on average
and have to reset etc to get it ready again
but slowly getting some stuff off
Mainly as a learning excercise

Hi Dear Friend xsoliman

Although of course its a 2000GB drive, and even though only approx. 600GB is used, that's still 2000 passes at approx. 300MB a time to recover the data ...
Luckily I only really need a few GB and now know where it is (the two MFT runs were extracted ok)

Just for info

Adding in link to another 7200.12 issue where drive would go not ready after reading past a certain point

And that was also later experimented on with the 7200.11 Ready fix applied to 7200.12
and had further issues
similar to my later experiments here
