Hello,

Can we have a dead read/write head without hearing a clicking or strange sound?

I have a Seagate ST9500420AS that reaches readiness in PC3000 but when I try to run the utility it stuck.

Kind regards.

No other noises?!? Spins OK?
What's the terminal log?

Yes, even media damage is possible with the same behavior.
