HITACHI HTS727550A9E364 Bad Secs in SA writing problems

[hhddrec]

Any way to Write sectors in IBM-ARM Architecture if secs in SA badly

I have a HTS727550A9E330 with PSHT copy1 badly, i tryed to write form PSHT copy0 witout success.

Any way


Thanks in advanced

And do you really need a good PSHT copy1?
Can't you have sector access?

Yes, i have access to Secs but i can only access from sec=0 to to sec=602279

them i get error reading secs.

i atach pics about case

Needs a head swap, as at least h1 is toast.
Suggest not powering on as is. These are easily prone to further damage when trying to image working heads first. Got one right now. Wasting parts on it...

[hhddrec]

before had heads problem, but now is head exchanged.

I think problem is about FW

[hhddrec]

I am trying to read secs to 10.000.000 but no success in any of them in advanced to sec=602279.

If them problem is any head must i can read other secs areas.

This is new ARM hitachi drive. Problem can be solved, but, i am afraid, you have to send it.
If you check PSHT module in RAM , it is empty.

Hi DR-Kiev.

If this is a question:

If you check PSHT module in RAM , it is empty.

Yes, the PSHT module in RAM is empty

Then in red we can see mods with errors:

PSHT Copy 1. - P-List
Maybe not needed because we have "PSHT Copy0" fine.

DMP1 -Unknown module
I do not know info about this module, maybenot important

WRT2 - Marker at head 2.
maybe here is the problem


What you think?

[hhddrec]

I am testing

this is the head map of HDD.
HEad Number:
3
HEadMap:
00 01 02 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F

[dmarques]

As Dr. Kiev told you, I don't think no one will tell you how to do it.
Specially as that is something that only a few people know about yet.

[hhddrec]

but if i change HEAD map:

HEad Number:
1
HEadMap:
00 0f 0f 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F


i can acess from sec=0 to 195551

[hhddrec]

HEad Number:
2
HeadMap:
00 01 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F


i can acess from sec=0 to 418751

[hhddrec]

HEad Number:
3
HeadMap:
00 01 02 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F 0F


i can acess from sec=0 to 602279

[hhddrec]

then the problem is probably in WRT2 Marker

if this module have problems HDD do not know where change the working head.

what yiou think

have you got FW HITACHI HTS727550A9E364?

thanks

[hhddrec]

I can see to problems to write secs.

I tryed to write secs in User Area and i can not.

What you think? Heads problems? or other Problem?


Thanks

[hhddrec]

i update case with a pic

what you think about lined in red Area? scrached?

PSHT module s responsible for LBA access. If that module does not work then there is no LBA access.

Solution: solve the PSHT module problem.

How? Try to read each PSHT copy at the time, then patch together the module as best as possible in one good module, fill any 00s error gaps and see if it works.

Further problem? The module likely cannot be written back to the drive, so it will have to be loaded in RAM.

Has this been tried already?
