HDD GURU FORUMS

Hi
I got TOSHIBA DT01ACA050 with a bad head (this HDD have only one physical head P0).
After head replacement, I imaged about 10 GB then it starts giving me an error (black sectors).

The drive gets ready and I have access to SA using Hitachi-IBM-ARM 7210DLE6 and everything looks fine but no access to user area ?? Any suggestion?

Attached SA structure test

what if you load translators in RAM, does it give access this way ?

I tried to access the first 10GB again but no access I get UNC error, but I have access to SA while this drive has only one head ??
