I have a maxtor drive with corrupt ulist, both copy 1 and 2. My question is can a suitable replacement be copied from another drive or is it specific to the drive in question? I know it is specific to the configuration of the particular drive, ie. platters, heads, etc. The data is needed from this drive. Thanks.

To be honest....this is nearly impossible...too difficult...

PM sent.

There are actually 4 copies of UList...
But anyway, even if 2 of them are corrupted it's something more than a firmware corruption... And I'm not sure it's a good idea trying to rewrite them...
I would try smart hot swap first.

Pls let me be free to send a PM.

If the copies are not damaged from the same place u can overwrite these copies to one another it works good .

Hi Rameez. Yes, both copies were damaged in the same place so neither could be restored to the other.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I ended up returning the drive back to the customer before resolving the issue. He was a bit impatient! Good to know for the next time. Thanks again.

Ulist modules may be preserved in up to 8 copies. Only two of them are indicated in the module table. try to find another copy need some knowledge and tool.
good luck

Sorry. this answer wasn't pointed to U only. U know there are many guys using pirated stuff and this is an open forum.
I would be glad to meet U on ACElab's forum and talk about things related to using PC3k.
Sorry again if I was offensive.
