Hi.

I have problem with this drive from subject, after updating motherboard bios, my hdd, after reboot dont have 320Gb but 0Gb and 0 LBA's,
Seatools recognize hdd, same as bios, but there is no SMART enable,or disable, but just SMART = Not Found,

Any try to test drive and with LBA error, only work identify,and firmware upgrade,

did some have this firmware to reupload it to drive?
Should i contact SEAGATE for original full firmware,tho he said to me(helpdesk) that there is no available firmware update for this drive.

Do not waste your time looking for firmware, you will not be able to update it without expensive tools. It is not a mobile phone or DVD player.

If you need the data then send to a pro, otherwise throw it away.

Sorry to be the bearer of this news, but it's the truth!

That problems cannot be solved "updating" firmware , this looks like a problems over firmware on platters, called Engineering Cylinders,System Area Diskware, etc,
