This is typical BSY bug. Nothing to do with heads.

at my knowledge , busy bug doesn't prevent the drive from ID ...
this drive doesn't ID at all

it is the BSY bug , but i handled several similar drives with BSY bug , there didn't have this kind of noise ...

Test the heads in terminal

nop ..

i started thinking that the drive did has the BSY bug at first and user tried several things to get his daa back , so that he ruined his drive more ...

You're wasting your time.

LED:000000CC FAddr:0024A051
is the BSY bug.

sirs ;
the drive does has the BSY issue , but there must be something else ..
the drive produces a sound " each time powered on "

the sound is attached ..
no scratches sound , it just produce a noise


thank you again

I would say is the BSY bug too.

But hearing this sounds, maybe stucked heads, or any other problem in heads, maybe in platters

there is difinately something else other than BSY , even trying to clear SMART "a very simple R/W operation" will make the drive produce the noise again ..

heads are not stuck , does the donor i have presents a good head replacement one ?

thank you

Donor is compatible

scratches on the surface

donor heads act just like the patient heads ......

thank you all for your help
