Scratched MQ01ABD100

Hello,

I got this drive dropped and in inspection found 1 platter is scratched. Also got debris generated from the surface.

Cleaned the surface, tried a donor, it got ready, was able to access few sectors and it died.

First Question - Which one is the H0 in this model? Lower one? or TOP? I believe it's H0

Second Question - In Toshiba - we read CP where Most modules are kept in ROM. Does it matter if surface (under H0) is bad?

hi,

in my practical experience lower one is H0 (MQO1ABD100)...

Ok.

If it would be WD/Seagate we could read from copy 1 in under H1.

But in this toshiba, if we cut h0, can it be read?
