| Post subject: | WD3200BEKT relocate SA questions |
I have a WD drive that seems like it has bad media in the SA. I can read the SA tracks in composite mode to get all of the data. If I read individual heads I get sector errors at different spots. I would like to move the SA tracks to not use the ones with errors. Can anyone provide guidance or advice ? Is it as simple as moving the modules within the bad areas and adjusting the DIR module to point to the new location ? Here is a brief summary for head 0 of the problem areas... Cylinder Sectors WithErrors 1 OK 2 1-2,450-462 3-9 OK 10 444-480 11 442-481 12 442-481 13 444-481 14 447 15-19 OK 20 437-476 21 437-476 22 437-476 23 437-476 24 437-476 25 439-476 26-30 31 433-472 32 433-472 33 433-472 34 433-472 35 433-472 36-256 OK |

Either that or create a smart hotswap donor with the composite read tracks. |

not having a lot of luck with the hotswap. wrote the sa tracks to head 0, wrote rom+modules repower donor -- it goes ready standby the donor, move the board any access just clicks Is there an easy way to relocate modules, or do I have to calculate aba's manually ? |

Format SA end translator SA recalculation and write modules in place. But there is a risk that to gash SA. So hot swap safer. Аs a good rule not to write anything on the bad HDD, if you need the data. |
