Did some one have FW for this HDD:
Momentus 5400.6
model: ST9500325AS
s/n: 5VE03SZY
P/N: 9HH134-566
FW: 0001BSM1

I can read FW under 7200.11/12 on HD Doctor. BIOS and Windows recognize the drive but unable to access. Victoria report IDNF on all sectors.

Thanks.

Can you read any of the surface,maybe in the first thousand LBA?

On DC I check sector 63 and I so info about NTFS, but on HD Doctor nothing. And i can read most of the FW modules.

I bet LBA up to a certain number are accessible, then nothing after, right?

Sometimes they are readable up to several million before blocked, but I had one which would only read up to sector 11 before nothing.

FW won't help you.

Yes there is a solution for this problem in most cases.

I know it and have solved many of these.

But it's difficult, time consuming and not for sharing, sorry.
