The drive spin normal and after 30 sec give ready status. Can't load anything except the family and according to the log file look like some kind of rom corruption. I read the native rom (zip file in attach) and I didn't notice the corruption in file. Can somebody look at the rom file and give me a clue what happened with a drive, or If someone has an adequate firmware, it would be nice to try with that option to.

Hello,

Looks like it's Giant family drive. Isn't it?
What a firmware version of your patient drive?

Your ROM is looking good, FW version is 00010081.
Find donor resources and write 20B ROM module into the patient drive.
