You need to disable any pending operations via "HDD ID Edit" option in utility.

Other option is to set "power off/on" on error because (i believe) pending defects cause HDD to loose ready.

I got it 'OFF' and again turn it 'ON' but when i want to do any operation (for example view sub directory of partitions) the error "Error - Set UDMA = UDMA66" occurred and DWF and ABR register lights red.

OK then you need to remove all pending related options within utility. This should help.

For knocking HDD you need to first diagnose it properley.

For pending option, I already stated it is under "HDD ID" options within utility.
