Hi i have a 2Tb Seagate LP ST2000DL001, it is recognised in Bios (model number, serial, capacity) but is always bsy.
can it be a head stuck?
any suggestions?
thanks in advance

Check PM.

Can be the BSY bug....

[athlesi7]

as it is with the 7200.11?

[hddguy]

it is recognised in Bios (model number, serial, capacity).

If model/serial/capacity is normal then not BSY problem.

most probably smart problem

[Nick_CT]

I've had 2 of these where clearing SMART brings the drive ready.

[athlesi7]

Thanks! Excellent job. Nick_CT is right, reset the SMART parameters and there you go.
should i trust the disk now? i should propably back up and send the drive to the warranty.

After SMART reset the drives, in my experience, worked for a few hours or few days, then went BSY again. The ones I worked on were RMA'd.

Don't trust it.

Get a replacement if possible through warranty.

You can scan it with MHDD.

Hi, I am having the exact same problem with the ST2000dl001. How did you clear SMART parameters? Is there a way to do it in a seagate terminal? Thanks

For the 7200.11 bsy bug fix it says the following:

F3 T>/1
F3 1>N1
this is a S.M.A.R.T. erase

But I would test it on another drive first just to confirm it works ok.
Remember you do this at your own risk

Thanks Loki. Tried resetting SMART and comes to life for a few minutes and then spins down so cannot access. Any suggestions?

[northwind]

OK, so before you clear SMART, disk span up, no sounds whatsoever, kept spinning and stayed BSY?
Then, you cleared SMART and disk spins up, detects (you said "it comes to life") and spins down? Or it only spins up and down?

Wow i know this is old but i have the same problem, BSY and not terminal trying to short PCB but no luck, can someone shed some light please.

Thanks.
