PC-3000 Forum

Hello Guys,
I’m handling this drive. It spin up with no clicking or other noise, and get DRDY DSC.
I checked the SA and attached the report. In “Hdd configuration changing” I disabled all the auto reallocation operations and wrote them in the SA.

I tried to read some sectors with "sector edit" within the utility but I get ABRT error. Then I read the sectors via "active utility" and the reading was successful.
So in DE I scanned the MFT map from “active utility” but the reading was very very slow.

I was able to map the sectors used by bitmaps. The sectors used are around 80GB. Reading in active utility is very slow, even very very slow, it will take 13 days.
Is there anything else I can try to speed up the reading?

Thanks for any hint or help
Jojo

did you try hotswap method with other donor HDD by transferring H_UTIL module only? Do any SA modules return errors?

Thanks AJ for the advice. I did not do a hot swap because I did not have a donor drive at hand.
As the requested data were not many, I managed to map the most important folders and now I'm finishing to clone the last files.

In DE by "Read from Active PC-3000 Utility" the reading is very slow but I am ending the image.
I do not understand why the reading with no ABRT errors happen only with the translator loading options (see attached) considering that the SA did not have any translator errors.
