!!! Adaptives corrupt !!!
AbEnd Test 02

The F> repair could not finish I believe becaseu of the corruption on the Boot Adaptives.
Is there any way I could go bout this at this point?

I already tried two different Donors to load the CERT, CERT tab and APP to the HDD and do a F> repair. but with the forst donor adaptive corruption comes up. with the 2cond donot the util hadngs when loading the CERT tab module, for ever.

I do not know if the problem is that the CERT code and table from the donor are bad, or there are other problems causing this curruption.

HDD info ST3160021A, 3LJ1FY0X, 3.08 Barracuda 7200.7.
If the problem is indeed a possible corruption on the Donor's SA objects Firmware then I would be very thankfull if some1 could help me out with it.

thanks in advance
Pedro E.

Check there is error 33 that means Adaptives are not loaded .
