the terminal output of the drive startup is

Code: Select all

Rst 0x10M
Servo Processor Is Reset.
RW: Disc Ctlr Initialization Completed.

Without any LED error.
After (P) SATA Reset terminal freezes
i tried shorting the R/W channel they drive remained BSY and i had access to the terminal
it spins up and down ok
I can see Alt list , P-list..

Hello.

What is this hard drive Fw version?
Also, haven't you tried to run translator regeneration command?
It is launched over ATA and could help you to solve this problem.

Make sure you save output of 'V40' list before you attempt it, no need to backup anything else
