Hi.
I have a MQ04ABF100 drive. Swapped head. I can read all modules. But cannot access to UA.
Unfortunately the data is lost.
Toshiba drives with swapped heads kill on write and SMR Toshiba drives are eager to write to SA. (and you didn't backup SA, despite what the log from MRT says).
The only thing you can try now is to read data by PBA ignoring translation, maybe you could get some working files as raw.
I have imaged raw data without Plist. So data shifted. And recovered RAW data. File structure collapsed. But recovered many files acording to extensions. Small files usually working. big files not.
I have a theory to have data according to P list.
Need a good drive same model.
1st delete good drive's P list
2nd image my raw data to good disk
3th write patient's Plist to good drive.
Theoricaly this should work. But this is SMR drive.
If I could find a same model drive maybe I would try.
I wonder what would happen If I would write Plist to this SMR drive .( MRT showing wrong P list. Maybe write DD would work) This metod would work ex models. I am sure
This method may be use also at WD SMR drive. I havent worked with WD SMR yet
