seagate problem

[mulan]

hi
i have a seagate drive baracuda ata IV st340016a that is not detected
i connected the drive to pc3k pci and the drive starts spinning (with knocking sound) and in terminal i get
head mask 0000 head mask 0000 head mask 0000 head mask 0000...............
for 10 times or more and after that the drive stops the spindle
the drive is always at age 60 (if i change the drive to age 50 after power down/up the drive is again at age 60)
can anyone tell me if it is a head problem?
i need the data from the drive

thanks in advance

Hi mulan ! Can you check wheteher the ROM is properly detected by your PC 3000 ? If not, than it's head problem CMIIW..

the terminal looks like:

i think the head is dead. any other opinion?

[mulan]

nobody? knows

[dmarques]

Have you tried to change pcb and check terminal report again to see if result is the same ?

[mulan]

yes. the result is the same

[dmarques]

So replace heads.

[mulan]

my guess is the same. thank you all

[beto]

If u get

T> then u can try to check heads to determine if its head problem or no
