ST9120822AS 3.ALD App problem

[JiS]

Hi,
i have a ST9120822AS 3.ALD drive and after start of App code it reports following (see below) so I am ot able to read ID and access the sectors. Is there any way ? I am able to create the loader and read whole SA without any problem.
Unfortunately i was not able to get any ST9120822AS 3.ALD loader from different drive (all have different FW) to try change App code (will it help?).
I also tried to modify the App by DE but it does not help either.
Thanks

Hi,

looks like a CE Error log problem. With DE you should be able to fix this, I think.

I you haven't already read this you might want to have a look here:

"7200.10 ST3250310AS CE log"
viewtopic.php?f=34&t=6551

and here:
"CE log errcode"
viewtopic.php?f=34&t=6915

Good luck!

Hi, thanks for you reply, but as i wrote "I also tried to modify the App by DE but it does not help either." Means i allready tried the App modifications.

Oops sorry.

Still: "Add to pending" sound like CE Error to me. Are you able to get into T> mode?
I know T4E might be a bad idea but it always helped me so far.

[JiS]

What exactly does the T>T4E command do? I only know the T>T4 as heads test.

updated:oh, i see. it should re-write the cert log. let me try.
OK, I tried, but it di dnot help. i still get the same errors as in my first post.
Anybody knows what the CE Log ErrCode=7b means? It's not documented in PC3K manual.

T4E is not good idea on bad drive, if error is encountered during procedure can result in severe damage to CERT code/tables.

Are you able to view any sectors on sector edit after DE start following app modification?

[JiS]

I am not even able to get the drive ID. The drive is still writing the errors in a loop and if I try to read the ID it goes BSY.

[arvika]

I have the same disk and the same terminal output. Has anyone solved this problem?

[labtech]

I'm thinking weak heads / write element failure

[ft1bh]

I just had a 7200.10 drive which was able to read a little but then gave up. The terminal was also showing some "pending" blocks. New heads resolved the whole problem, only a few bad blocks.

[arvika]

Thank you for advice.
