was it dropped initially? Did you swap heads "manually" or with a tool?

You still can try to initilize it using a loader.

Yes, according to the client it really was dropped. And the heads were changed "manually".

Ok, great. And please, the suitable loader I can find from where?

From another drive with same model and firmware at least.

So I'm looking for a loader for Seagate 7200.10 with FW 3.AFD, please.

I'm not in the office, so I cannot check now. Will check tomorrow.

Great, thanks in advance.

Do you think the surface is damaged because of dropping?

Out of curiosity, have you noticed a wobble while manually rotating the platters? Also, upon powering, does it make a click sound or more of a chirp sound?

Thanks

No noticeable wobbling. It's pretty much a kind of chirp.

Sent PM.

Case closed. The drive was recognized after some fiddling the screw and it is cloned totally. Thank you.
