Hi, I got a ST3320620AS that cant be detected by bios. Sent to some data recovery company for test ,quoted for >$1000 and told that the firmware is corrupted, nothing wrong with hardware.
Can i use MHDD to fix the firmware issue or any other low cost solution?
Saw youtube video like this able to fix it.

Without knowing what the firmware issue is specifically, I wouldn't recommend you try anything yourself. A botched homebrew firmware fix is likely to make the data permanently unrecoverable.

My advice is to seek out a less expensive company for data recovery. I generally only charge $500-$650 USD for firmware repairs in my lab. Unless your data isn't that valuable.

Oh and by the way, that Salvation Data video is for tools that cost $2,200 USD and actually suck really bad at fixing firmware issues. To do a proper job requires a PC-3000 which costs in the neighborhood of $7000.

Thanks for the reply first.
Mine one is the worst 7200.10 3.AAK
Got a donar driver as well.
The data inside the driver is nothing important. Only some movie and old backup files.

I don't mind to check it out, if you are willing to ship it the drive to Portugal.

If you decide to DO-IT-YOURSELF you will need a TTL adaptor first and then to post a log so that we can check if it's something that can be fixed with terminal only.

Regards.

just bought a TTL to usb cable from ebay.
Could you tell some more how to DIY?
e.g: wt software to get the log etc...
I read something about ST tools and also found someone using hyper terminal fixing it...
