Hi all!

A little advice please?

Got a Toshiba MK6025GAS, spins up OK, and becomes ready.

Will start to image, but gets to LBA 145272 or so and will not read any further.

I sent it to a DR company and they said it was heads. I am a bit doubtful as it reads that far.

Any views?

Data is very important.

Thanks in advance

Looks like heads to me...

OK, thanks for your help.

Do youknow why it read read a little bit and then stop at the same place each time?

There are two heads in the drive, does one head read a bit and then the other?

What do I need to match from a donor drive for head swap?

TIA

Hi,
as far as I know this drive has 4 heads, and H2 looks defective.
(H0 is the first)

It only has two heads, so I guess H1 must be defective then?

Thanks guys, for your help.

Will try head swap tomorrow.

Cheers

I stand corrected, it has indeed got 4 heads.

Sorry

Hi,

thanks for the correction, I have almost disassembled one and checked again

Heads swapped and drive reading again.
