You haven't provided enough info for anyone to help you.

Is it an OEM drive? If so, is it a WD or Seagate? Do you have photos of the front and rear? What info do you get from the PC3K re: heads map, model number, etc. etc?

Hi, Do you need donor for heads or hotswap or Pcb?
The drive you have is a Samsung, (2 platters/4 heads).

Hi, Samsung is quite forgiving for heads on some models, you can try one of these:
HM320JI
HM32HJI
HM32GJI
All from 160-166Gb/platter series.
