hi all i am having an issue with this drive which is a CC34 F/w, the drive will ID correclty,, become ready straight away, when i try and access the data on it with DE it will not let me access the data on it and the drive stops being ready and flashes error registers.
Cloning does not work either.
there is no clicking of any sort from the drive, on average i am able t image about 1 million blocks and then the drive imaging turns yellow( sector skiped)
i found that at this point if i put the drive power off and on again with DE it will start to image again or a little while and then the same has to be done.
so i worked round this to a degree by setting DE with drive options of power on/off and no resets as the resets make it image all yellow.
all good for the first 380million blcks of the drive and then it slows right down to about 1 million blocks every 3 or 4 hours and the drive is doing alot of restarts whih i dont want to do.
doing the above is imaging but very very slow.
from the image i have been able to extract the user folder (windows vista) but have way too many corroutptions in there to be a good recovery, folder structure is there but alot of files are corroupted.
i am suspecting this may be to do with only having imaged 1/3 of the drive. does this sound right to you ?
my questions are has anyone encountered this error with this drive ?
i swapped heads with an identical drive and the drive would not wor with the donor heads, and the original heads did not work in the donor drive either, i swapped heads back to original drives and bothdonor and patient are working again but in thew case of the patient i am having the above.
can this be a translator issue ? trying to work with the Atola to aimge this drive has given worse results.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
