Seagate momentus 5400.6 firmware problem
February 2nd, 2012, 15:16
Hello.
I've this Momentus 5400.6 ST9500325AS hard drive which is no more detected by bios.
Firmware version: 0001SDM1
I tried the firmware unlock procedure as the barracuda 7200.11 with the RS232/TTL adapter and now the bios of my computer detects it again.
But there is a problem, the drive is very slow and hdd regenerator detect all bad sector after LBA 55834000 (about 27 GB)
From 0 to 55834000 LBA is all fine and working good, but after sector 55834000 hdd regenerator give's me all bad sectors.
Of course, it's not a bad sector problem, but something about translator modules in the firmare
http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/145751- ... -solution/
I need pc-3000 to repair it or something similar, or any other ideas.
Someone can help me?
t is possible to repair with chipper software as SeDiv ?

It is translator issue, usually fixable in UDMA.
UDMA has an "automated" fix for this, but it can also be done manually via the serial port. So it probably can be done via SeDiv or similar, but you have to know the commands AND how to use them properly.

Hello pcimage,

Do you know the commands for translator fix ?
It is possible with hyper terminal ?
I have also pc3000 dos version without the pci card

I've tried to contact SeDiv on IRQ but he doesn't answer.
How can i buy SeDiv software if he doesn't answer ?

UDMA = PC3000 UDMA from Ace Laboratory Russia
Yes I do, and sorry I won't tell you
Yes maybe with a lot of manual work and knowledge
The more you screw with this drive, the less your chances of recovery are.
Sorry to say this, but it's the truth
