Hi Gurus
This WD1200JS drive power up fine, check modules found module
21, 22, 24 SMART error
Module 32 which is the translator module error, when i try regenerate translator , pc3000 asking data will be lost if i try to regenerate the tralslator, there are no options to choose such as take into account Glist or Plist, what should i do? Translator as far as i know it is unique to this drive and cannot be copied from other drive.

Anyone have similar expereriences?

Thank's

pc3000 is not so good with "regen" for this model,
so if you understand about "static" and "dynamic" translator,
you can understand what can be done and what can't be done
wrt overwriting from another drive.


I find in almost all cases using "ace regen" not required for this drive type.

Anyone know why i cannot regenerate translator on this drive?
Thank's
