Hello, i've this old Quantum Fireball ST6.4A which isn't detect anymore in bios and even in pc3k.
When i power on it i hear a lot of head clicking, i tried to power off/on it about 30 times in pc3k until he detect without any clicking sounds.
I cloned it perfectly with DE (very easily and without any ECC error)
but i don't understand why i was able to clone it perfectly if heads seem to be bad, maybe it's not a head issue??
SMART shows only 6 reallocated sectors, can someone help me to identify problem? I want to fix the drive if possible and backup ROM+SA but in pc3k i don't see any support for Quantum drives then "General utility".
