I am using WDmarvel for this test and having problems. Anyone care to comment?

Why would head test lock up the program?

WD Marvel locks up here, can not do anything but kill it in task manager and restart.

Changed head map to just 1 in ID0A, power off and retry with this error above.

Are both heads dead? Any suggestions?

This is a bug in the program. It's explained on the wdmarvel forum how to solve it. You should not change the head map!

I searched the forum but I do not see what you speak of. Can you kindly tell me what to search for?

Thanks BGman! That fixed it! And as I expected:

Now should I disable head 0?

Yes. If you know how....
Have you done it before?

Never mind, looks as though I have more problems:

It may be time for a new paper weight? This is in the user zone. The previous test was in SA.
