Toshiba old drive (SATA) with G-List corruption

[CrazyDoctor]

Hi All,

Long time since I got such drive.
Model : TOSHIBA MK3261GSYN
Firmware : MH000C9
Capacity : 320 GB (625 142 448)

The drive give full ID, read all its CP but have a damge in its G-List.
I tried to create virtual translator with Data Extractor - didn't help.

Is there a way to fix the drive with the utility?
I tried to erase the G-List but the action didn't succeed to erase it - got error instead.

Can anyone give any tip or direct me?



When tring to create virtual translator with the utility I get the following errors:

All those LBAs far exceed the capacity of the drive. :-?

Would you mind uploading the Glist?

Hi

I can't get access to the G-List

See the print screen

Can you dump the SA (read service tracks)?

When PC3K builds a virtual translator, I suppose that it would try to use both the P-list and G-list, and the zone table CP in the ROM. Is the P-list (CP 0xDD) OK?

Try reading with the utility it gives you an option to use pba and bypass the damaged glist I think.

Does the drive come ready? I've used hddsuperclone successfully on low capacity tosh's which refused to play nicely with pc3k.

I can read the P-List but when trieng to build virtual translator I got many errors and can't reach the data even with reading with the utility mode.

Yes, the drive come ready.
I tried with and without PBA didn't get data/sectors access.


Any Ideas?

This LBA corresponds to a capacity of 1TB. It seems to me that, if you can determine why PC3K is attempting to build a virtual translator with this ridiculous LBA, then you will be closer to finding a solution.

Thank you all

I gave the drive back without solve it.

Is the G-List in this drive actually supported by your version of PC3K?
