If the drive is one of the HSS541, HTS721or other new series then this is a common problem. Pc3000 does not allow writing to factory copy of modules and the problem is usually within the PSHT (P-List). Double check by looking in the modules list and check all modules.

I've been doing a lot of development on these drives, and whilst I can now write to the factory modules, getting the drive to come ready still eludes me

I dont give up though.

Yes that is right ... it is HTS721drive .. you did describe the problem right... so any solution i can try to solve it or call it quit

Did you try to start using "Load resources from..." either profile or database of similar disk? This should allow you to check SA condition. Let me know what you find.
