Post subject:  HOW to disale one head of WD hard disk

Guys
In my pc3k head 1 out of 4 of this WD scorpio blue is giving read errors and I want to recover data in raw mode using r-studio.
How can I disable head 1 in rom on hardware level so that disk will get detected in any other pc without pc3k.
Thank you.

In WD utility go to Ram head Map editing and replace head 1 by head 0 , soft reset and done.
