| Post subject: | WD read only SA |
hello does anyone know what to do in the case where pc3000 does not want to write any modules into WD drive. it returns some error. i tried overwriting several modules good or bad without success. it seems the SA is read only. this is newer drive. thanks BFG |

You'll probably need to be more specific than that. |

wd5000bevt it has bad loader module 11. all the other modules are OK pc3000 returns "error code:3745" when attempting to write any module. this includes 11 or even good module. it will not clear G-list or set password. so no write access to SA. it can only read SA thanks B |

What was the original problem with the drive? Bad heads/ damaged SA area can often prevent modules from being written. |

it seems module 11 has been the only problem. the drive is not even opened. thanks |

Did you try to do a hot swap with another HDD identical and write the modules? What version of PC3000 PCI or UDMA? UDMA there is hotswap procedure you can use on this one. |

i already tried hot swap and it did not do. drive clicks. it is possible i dont have fully compatible drive for this. are there any tricks to it? thanks |

This is because you do not have SA copies available. If ATA mod #11 is bad, you cannot read and write to ABA. Try using LDR from compatible donor disk, or quit trying to read/write to ABA... |

i can read all modules but 11. i already have them all. i also have matching module 11 from donor and i am unable to write it to the SA. i have no write access to SA at all. i agree that bad module 11 is most likely causing this issue. i wonder if there is a way around it. |

Hi, did you ever solve this issue? I am experiencing the same problem here with a WD5000AAKS, ROM appears fine, and i can read all other modules except 11 (0x0:) Drive will not allow me overwrite or edit any other modules. Did you get any answers on this?... |
