Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

Hello, I'm writing about this because we need the support concerning these three modules.
These modules have damaged contents, CRC checksum, Header Ok After uploading these modules, the drive is not initializing.
I know that they are unique, which is why I have a copy of the other.
Mod 36, 0C it's probably a sequence of ARCO + Selfscan help, but is there any way to repair the module 03?
Do you understand !?

yes,
but buy DFL for one drive is a little unreal not you think? I think that this can be generated from the backup FW.

Can you read the tracks? Can you get partial copies of each module? Sometimes you can make one good module from two damaged copies, provided that the damage is not in the same place. It could also be that the damage is confined to zero sectors rather than data sectors.

Hello Frank,
Yes, i can read/write tracks and I attach a full backup FW of this drive, but the contents also copy in the same way as the original copy damaged, I compared this with files from the donor.

You need to read both copies separately from primary and secondary surfaces. If using PC3000 use the loader to get ABA access then read modules using ABA not ID, make sure to select the separate copies not composite.

Hello Green SLIM, jeah ok, but tracks are ripped from the surface head0 and Head1.
Unfortunately I do not have PC3k, MRT only have a full license WDmarvel 7A and it uses it.
