Problems after Translation regen 5400.6
Posted: 31.03.12, 18:50
Hi
I have hdd ST9160314AS , 5400.6 . Shows ‘0’mb capacity. Once I did translation regen then its detected fine with full capacity. But now initial part of the hdd reading without bad sectors , and rest of the entire hdd appearing as bad sectors.
In my case the first bad sector found at LBA 22799732 , and no good sector after that. When I read that bad sector with ’ utility command’ its having some data , but from 22799509 to 22799731 are all ZEROS are found. I think these are the additional defects that needs to add in Glist or Sliplist.
Using G6c,xxxxxx command I added this sector range (223 ) in to Alt list, then did translation regen with ‘defects transfer from alt list’ . Now the status is 22799509 to 312 581 808 (end ) all are bad sectors but data present at 22799509 and onwords (verified few thousands) . Is this the right way to handle this. After that how to know what was the next real bad sector ( which was used to generate translator at factory ). Because every sector manual verificatiion for 00s or 77s is not practical.
What I expected was once I did the translation regen with alt list then bad sectors may disappear ( atleast up to next real bad sector), but in my case so such outcome.
Need help
Thanks in adavance
