Hi

I got this HDD that came with the 0MB error.
I did a translator regen with UDMA and got the drive detected fine.
Tested the sector view and it read sectors. (tough, I didn't tested the last sectors...)
Heads tested fine, modules read fine.
So I started to image the drive with DDI.
But I only got the fisrt 15% of the drive read, all the rest I can't read.
Tested heads on DDI and I only get 4 or 5 green blocks on all heads, as you can see on the picture. When testing the HDD starts to screech.
Can heads be really dead or is this a FW problem?
How reliable is the head test on terminal of UDMA?
I ask this because another case where heads tested fine and after all 1 was bad....
Thanks

Think you need to run translator recovery there is a good explanation on ace forum.
