Most likely it's a firmware/translator problem but it's VERY RISKY to run commands without backing up the sysfiles and modules first .... So you need way more than a terminal adaptor to safely "fix" the drive to a point where data extraction is possible.
If you need the data inside the drive please do send it to a reputable data recovery firm because at this point it should be a cheap recovery.
If you mess it up with wrong terminal commands you might end up killing the drive for good or at least make the recovery way more expensive ....
If you can't backup sysfiles and modules (and ROM) just DON'T mess with commands.
If you don't need the data just buy another drive and do not buy Seagate.
Well that sound interesting and wise. I dont remember what I have on this drive. It might not be very high value as i normally store that elsewhere to me but still I hate to loose data.
Is there any place in Europe you would recommend (private if you dont want to advert)? What would be the price range (more or less so that I can have an idea if they are expensive or not) if the compagnie can fix it without having to open. Price is important here.
I am trying to learn too. How are the backups of sysfile/modules usually done? Is it the info stored in 'U12'
I used to consider Seagate as kind of safer (I enjoyed the IBMs bad series 15 to 20 years ago, doing my first siftware recoveries). I am not ultra up to date. Which brand is serious now and what model lines? I guess the pro and nas series are meant to be safer but insider info is welcome.
