You are shorting the drive to early it's all about timing with the Seagate DM drives.

By the way what's the problem with the drive?

Hello,

and after that if i restart utility without re-power it detects

Model : ST2000DM001
Firmware : SC48
Capacity : 3.86 GB (8 089 950)

So now I'd go in, edit module 93 to disable all the auto reallocation and idle activities so it'll start up normally going forward. Then try to figure out why it's not showing correct capacity, maybe it will after power cycle.

Hello
Need Loader for this HDD ST2000DM001 FW SC48
Can anyone have?

Thanks in advance

Before trying loader, see if you can read system files through terminal and see if any critical ones are damaged.
