. Take a look at the p-list for the data shift too. I've only had 2 of these drives, looking at the profiles folder 1 has no cp's and a rom the other has a rom and no cp's.


Yes I saw this when playing with drive. But now not shifted I guess

Could you upload the ROM? I could parse it and extract the CPs.
Try reading that again. ;-)
So demanding ..... :lol: I've read the rom at the default and also increase to the upper boundary HddDonorMarket used.

@Lardman, when I said to try reading your statement again, I meant that it didn't make sense. Essentially you wrote the same thing twice, only in reverse. ;-)

Sigh. I don't even have a good excuse this morning, it's not like it's Monday still.

I need to rewrite my parsing tool to take this new ROM type into account.

This is a table of ROM resident CPs:

Each CP record is 0x18 bytes long. The CP number is in the leading two bytes, followed by a two character A/N mnemonic.

@Lardman, this is the header of your G-list:

Code:
Offset(h) 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F

00000000  53 50 E4 1C E6 7A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  SP..............
                ^^^^^

As far as I can tell (from looking at other examples), the number of defect records is 0x1CE4, and each record occupies 12 bytes.

Code:
1D 29 00 00 01 00 00 01 08 00 00 80  <- first defect
1D 29 00 00 01 00 08 01 08 00 00 80
7F 2A 00 00 01 00 58 00 08 00 00 80
70 50 00 00 01 01 50 0C 08 00 00 10
...
C3 7D 03 00 01 15 08 06 08 00 00 10
E5 7D 03 00 01 15 48 00  <-- this last record is truncated

As far as I can tell, PC3000 has allocated 0x6000 bytes for the G-list, but this is clearly not enough.

    0x1CE4 defect records x 12 bytes per record = 0x15AB0

Is this a genuine G-list overflow, or is it a bug in PC3K?

Above my pay grade ... here's another one for you to look at.

Both have/had translator problems, Neither present the defects list mods in the PC3K menu anymore but both had a considerable number of entries in the g-list - both drives were from badly treated laptops and smart is horrible.

That example has 0xDFC defects and has also overflown the G-list. A full track dump might help to determine what is going on. As I see it, the G-list can only hold a maximum of 0x7FE defects before it overflows.

BTW, it is evident that MRT doesn't understand that CP IDs are now 2-byte values rather than the single byte IDs in earlier models.

Here is a relatively defect free (2 defects) example from the HDD Guru files area:

Code:
Offset(h) 00   02   04   06   08   0A   0C   0E

00000000  5350 0200 0200 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000  SP..............
               ^^^^ ^^^^
00000010  990C F000 0025 D00E 0800 0010 EE0F F000
00000020  0025 E808 0800 0010 0000 0000 0000 0000

Code:
99 0C F0 00 00 25 D0 0E 08 00 00 10  <- first defect
EE 0F F0 00 00 25 E8 08 08 00 00 10  <- last defect
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

I would think that the G-list would be an essential module. A bad G-list might explain why you have no UA access.

Most of the CPs in your dump would be ROM resident.

A full track dump would be useful as well. That will tell us the true size of the G-list.

added ROM AND G List

There is no ROM or G-list in your "OK again" archive.

I have extracted most of the ROM resident CPs. Some CPs don't appear in the CP table, so my tool doesn't find them.

The included CPlist.txt file provides ID/name/location/size/checksum info for each CP.

That example has 0xDFC defects and has also overflown the G-list. A full track dump might help to determine what is going on. As I see it, the G-list can only hold a maximum of 0x7FE defects before it overflows.
These are solved cases - so there's no issue for me. I thought they might help collective understand the OP's problems, as the drives present the same way before using PC3K features to get at the data.

ISTM that UA goes to pot if the g-list overflow and/or the p-list corrupts. AFAICS PC3K copes with this by allowing you to first clear the lists, if that doesn't work you cant ignore them using the pc3K utility to read in either LBA or PBA. Applying this to the OP's problem, assuming the g-list overflowed - Can mrt clear it ? if not clear/checksum in the ROM and push it back. If the p-list is corrupt can mrt fix modules? A new/blank dd could be written but you're going to dump translation which may or may not be important depending on the recovery.

At least that what I think is going on - I've been known to be wrong before :lol:

@Lardman, thanks for your resource dumps. I understand that your cases are solved -- I was just trying to understand the structures of the defect lists.

MRT doesn't seem to be a very good Toshiba tool. PC3K doesn't inspire me with confidence, either. In fact the resource dumps in the Files Area both had single-byte CP IDs, so it would appear that they were produced by an earlier version of PC3K.

I think I can manually clear the OP's G-list, if he can manage to provide one.

From using it, it does feel to be the least developed of the utilities available. A quick google shows Dr-Kiev was right on the SMR making the p-list even more important for a decent recovery, if I understand the workings of SMR correctly.

I've not had time/inclination to look at the ROM directly (I know I should, but I bought PC3K so I wouldn't need to learn it) if you tweak it I'd be interested to see if that fixes the UA access.

If I get the time later and the heads hold out, I might take another look at that drive and see which one fixes the UA problems either dumping P or scrubbing the G, I suspect both are needed and in it's current state I can't see a way of doing either from within PC3K (at least not easily).

I also have one of these:

Techno On............................... : Ok

Zone table.............................. : Ok
Cyl num................................. : 371 522
Head num................................ : 2
Vendor.................................. : TOSHIBA
Model................................... : MQ04ABF100
Microcode............................... : JU000D1Q


Defects in G-List....................... : 3401

CP Avalable............................. : 224


Can you try to manually clear g-list to see how that helps?

@MasterT, your G-list is not full. I have amended my understanding of the defect and record counts. Thanks for this example.

Code:
Offset(h) 00   02   04   06   08   0A   0C   0E

00000000  5350 C801 490D 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000  SP..............

               ^^^^ ^^^^
                 |    |
                 |    number of defects = 0xD49 (= 3401)
                 number of records in G-list = 0x1C8

Code:
C1A2 0000 0003 200C 0800 0010  <- first record
C1A2 0000 0003 480C 0800 0010
...
D08D 0300 0117 8809 0800 0010  <- last record
0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000

The size of the G-list = (number of records x 0xC) + 0x10 = 0x1C8 x 0xC + 0x10 = 0x1570

Code:
Offset(h) 00   02   04   06   08   0A

00001560  0800 0010 D08D 0300 0117 8809
0000156C  0800 0010 0000 0000 0000 0000
                  ^
                  last byte of last record at 0x156F

To clear the G-list, simply edit the first 16 bytes as follows:

Code:
Offset(h) 00   02   04   06   08   0A   0C   0E

00000000  5350 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000  SP..............

The limit to the size of the G-list is 0x7FE records, not 0x7FE defects.

I would think that clearing the P-list would seriously mess up the translator, which would then render your data unintelligible??

The G-list and P-list are in the SA, not in the ROM. Some CPs are ROM resident, some are SA resident, and some have copies in both places.

I'd expect fragmented in places but DR results from a scrape. Have to have a play with the read option within pc3k.

I know p is stored as an accessible cp but thought g was one of those transient things created from the dark regions of places we can't get at directly - I assumed this was rom based.

In the drives I've posted the g-list edit/clear function is not available from pc3K (I don't recall if they if they ever were) so there is no way to clear the g-list I can see from within it forcing it to be bypassed with the until rather than fixed.

Having done some more digging - there's no need for me to be going down that rabbit hole !
