Is it FW issue?

Motor start?

yes motor starts

BSY bug on this model is typical, but I'm a little puzzled about the noises you mention.
Can you describe? Clicking? Buzzing? Or are they just typical calibration noises?

no clicking and buzzing it likes calibration noise

if i put hdd on in after 2 mins err glows and hdd spin down

calibration noise = normal.

I believe this is typical BSY bug for this series.

what is soln?

I am not allowed to disclose such information in public, but i will PM you and try to help.

Access to ACE boards will grant you access to the sticky that explains how to get into these drives to check SA/heads in most cases.

I can PM you if others have not already answered your question, just shoot me a PM.


also, you need one of the latest releases of PC3K for this to work, like the last 2 tops I think.
