Translator for Sabre2

[dobrevjetser]

Hi guys,

I'm using the UDMA version to recover a Maxtor 6V160E0 sabre2.
All heads and modules ok, but data cannot be read, so i suspect translator corruption.
However, in the menu of udma, i cannot find 'translator regeneration'. Or has the sabre2 a dynamic translator?

Anyone has an idea how to solve this ?

Best regards,

Dobre

in data extractor there is a opetion "virtual translator" you can use this. to get data.

You mean when creating the heads map?
I tried that allready but the problem is that it uses the plist or other modules, none of which appears at checking the modules, as if they are not there

this is normal because these modules are absent on a SABRE2 drive

[Doomer]

P-List is B7 module
but it has different structure and DE cannot use it

[dobrevjetser]

So no solution ???

[Doomer]

I guess not yet
Ask PC3000 guys
You can send drive for us
we can repair this with our own utilities

[dobrevjetser]

I purchased UDMA about 1 month and 1 week ago.
I'm getting no replies any more from Ace.

Have you tried to send e-mail directly ?
or ask you question on the PC3000 forum - http://acelab.ru/pcTechSupport/forum/

[dobrevjetser]

I emailed directly. They give only support for 1 month ...

[prodata]

I suggest you to read ALL module Groups and try to seacrh where is the PLIST and GLIST Module based on their Header. and search the corelation between RZTable PLISt and Glist...

Thanks

[coffeebean]

ridiculous that ACE trying to read 1B for G-List - SABRE2

They know where G-List and others reside and they
know modules reference like 2C and one's mentioned by Doomer.

So why they don't include this for Sabre2 in UDMA version ??

Cause they ripping you off and they have this info for more than
a year and they cripple their programs...

[Doomer]

So why they don't include this for Sabre2 in UDMA version ??

they have completely different format
it is not so easy to add support of new modules
but not so hard, as well

[Starling]

It IDs correctly, so why do you think it's a translator problem?
Maybe it just needs good imaging?

[dobrevjetser]

Imaging is not working or very slow with lots of bad sectors, and if you restart the process, it returns different good and bad sectors.

BUT: very strange, i connected the drive to another pc to give A-FF a try, and that one reported nothing should be done. Amazingly, i could open the drive in explorer, and copy files!
After about 20 minutes, the drive disappeared from the system.
Rebooting this morning showed the drive again, and i could copy all i needed for my client

No problem any more so, but what causes this??? Perhaps temperature sensitive preamp or head.

Sabre2 probably has another version of Defect-Management control.
