I have one Seagate 1TB ST31000528AS, Firmware CC46, When i try to recover translator i got the following error,

Start scanning...

Read through utility, it is slow but the best way where forks cant be found properley.

Next time, read V40 before clear translator, then re-import the V40 list to the slip list after translator regenerated.
