Hi, the Hitachi ATMR series is well known for there bad heads....so that would be my first guess.
And to swap heads is nothing I will recommend a beginner, so if the data on the drive is importent send it to a DR service.

If you want to try to perform it your self, try to read as much as you can in the forum, and practice a lot on bad drives.

Best Regards

Bosse

If ur prepared to send to UK, then I'll take a look a it.

PM me if interested.

Otherwise, send to a DR company in Italy. This is not really something easily fixable by an amateur.
