I have Samsung HD400LD 400G few AMN errors , tried format still there, anyone know how to fix it? i dont need the data.

Thanks

DF After relocation. Still there? HTBI. This works unless physical damage makes it end with err. - in this case have to work it out manually or do some patching.

burn test u mean?

Ht and burn in after ht. Then switch to normal.

Hi guys

Same problem here...i have 2 samsung hdd SP2504C SATA ...both have a few bad sectors in the begining of the user space...tryed format, relocate but nothing. For doing HT and BI on these drives we need some files which are very hard to find for these hdd's because they are too new....at least i can't find them....

So any other ideas?

Thanks
Rgds

No, imho probably add to list and issue DF is sufficient. You only need to know the def. Lba. Htbi is more powerful but require resources. Here probably some of the experts can help, I'm definitely not an expert on anything, I only know a little part about how these drives work.

Only when reading service track i get the AMN errors, here's the log,

Reading service tracks
Into folder............................. : <HDD Profile>\Data\Tracks
Selected heads.......................... : 0,1
Read sector error (c: 0,h:0,s: 3)(PIO Mode data receiving timeout : device error detected (AMN))
Read sector error (c: 0,h:0,s: 4)(PIO Mode data receiving timeout : device error detected (AMN))
Cyl : 0; Head : 0....................... : Read with errors
Read sector error (c: 0,h:1,s: 3)(PIO Mode data receiving timeout : device error detected (AMN))
Read sector error (c: 0,h:1,s: 4)(PIO Mode data receiving timeout : device error detected (AMN))
Cyl : 0; Head : 1....................... : Read with errors

The strange thing is i have 4 hdd same model same errors.

I thought the errors were on user area, if the disk work why worry? I don't use the tools you seem are using (ace?) to work on these drives. Do MHDD work 100%? Don't worry on MC then. Otherwise you need support from the tool maker for that model. I have been experimenting and discovering for 2 years on these hdds before I quit dr...

thanks for the info BlackST
