Did you test heads?

[dmarques]

Have you tried to regenerate translator?

Agree I would look at heads had this one before.

Not so fast... Can you attach the saved SA , modules and groups? Can be head(s) but hope not...

[harddrivespecialist]

Yes, it would be nice to see what drive is reporting for size and firmware.

UDMA can do a SA structural test have you tried this one. I think there is also a head test too that you can check. But before hand BlackST and harddrivespecialist are right try and upload or put on here the stats from the HDD and what it is reporting. If you can dump the SA and the tracks this one would be good to see also

Have seen heads cause problems in this (and 80gb) Calypso drive, where everything looks ok but no LBA access.

But a proper firmware diagnosis is required to rule that out first, as heads exchange can be a right PITA on these
