Looks like seagate has changed the way the terminal output looks a bit. Every time the HM REG701 87 shows up the drive is clicking. Once it finally stops I am stuck at the F> prompt.

Any ideas or suggestions? I am assuming it is just a bad head.

did you get any where with this error? I have a seagate from a macbook that is doing the same.

Typically these are catastrophic media damage

This is the problem. Drc is right,you probably have media damage...

What's the firmware version?
