MHDD can't find the disk but R-Studio can

[pclab]

Hi

I have a very strange error on MHDD. I got a raw partition. All data were rescued OK, no problems there.
When I gonna pass MHDD to check the disk, it says it that don't support LBA.

Serial number, Fw, is all LLLLLLLLLLLLLLL.

Size=0 and LBA=0

Isn't it weird?!?!?!?

Changed cable and IDE slot.

Now it says: Drive not Ready.

I forgott to say that SMART is giving errors.

Very strange.
What model is the disk ?

[pclab]

It's a SP0802N.

The Samsung utility can detect it and it says bad sectores and error on SMART.

Then best to bin the drive.
This drive wont get any better.
Without special tools you wont be able to do much.
