And?
Where is the damaged ROM file? The ROM from another similar disk will not work. It is unique for each copy.

Then you're doing something wrong. Upload the binary, not text, if that's what you're trying to do.

Your ROM cannot be repaired. The adaptives contain junk. Also, the second half of your ROM is empty.

Does your PCB have two ROMs? If so, then you need to dump both because they are RAID-ed (special RAID 0).

One of the adaptive modules contains NVcache. That is consistent with a RAID 0. Everything before 0xBFFFF is OK. That's the first stripe.

Sorry, that should be "everything before 0xB0000 is OK".

Thank you very much for your reply. There are indeed two ROMs, and now my drive is indeed a brick. I am uploading the second ROM now, if my drive is still salvaged.

I have assembled the RAID. It looks OK, but F3RomExplorer doesn't work with it. I think that's a deficiency of the tool rather than a problem with the RAID. That said, I haven't verified the CRCs. If you have PC3000, you may be able to do it yourself.

What have you done to your drive, if anything, to brick it? What is the history? I could manually check all the CRCs, if necessary.

The main header has a bad 16-bit checksum.

Code:

Offset(h) 00       04       08       0C

00000000  301C0000 70090000 00000000 00050600

000000E0  FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF
000000F0  FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF 72C10000

This bad, too.

Code:

Offset(h) 00       04       08       0C

00050000  301C0000 70090000 FFFFFFFF FFFFFFFF

The CAP, RAP and SAP are all good.

Hello, sir. First of all, thank you for your reply. I used a programmer to read the ROM and wanted to unlock it via PC3000. There might be an issue with the programmer. After reading the ROM and writing it back, the above prompt appears. The same happens when writing back the original ROM. My PC3000 cannot verify the CRC check code. However, I found that my ROM lacks IAP. Even when I open the ROM with PC3000, the logical head bitmap cannot be displayed. Is there any way to save my hard drive?

aggc123, In the patient1.bin file, part of the second code container in the address range is 0x50000 ... 0x7FFFF is lost.

See https://www.hddoracle.com/download/file.php?id=10754

That's a good ROM pair. The second container is empty also, but the directory is OK. I think the first container is corrupt.

This is in the wrong place, and the header is incomplete:

fzabkar, Yes, I somehow ... all the same. You can restore the first container if you find something there.
And your "oracle" - read yourself. He says that I was born in the wrong country.
