I have a 7200.12 that spins up normally, but does not become ready (stays BSY)

when I spin it up, Terminal reports

Rst 0x20M
No HOST FIS-ReadyStatusFlags 2002A185

I can read the P-List, but cannot get to drive ID etc.

Does anyone have a solution to this? It seems that there are quite a lot of these problems, but no one seems to have found a solutuion.

I tried shorting the read points, but the drive clicks like it normally would, stops spinning but is still BSY.

Hi,

So after that the drive goes ready or BSY?

You have terminal access right?

Yes

Hi,

No HOST FIS-ReadyStatusFlags is a problem with some of FIDs, another words - System Files.

First, try 'V40' to check for NRG defects...

There is a fix for this error under Work with ROM, it wont resolve any failure but will allow DRDY state and here you may have options such as Eslip mode and work via utility etc but ideally you want to solve the actual fault and for this probably it is related to translator but you really need to be sure you know what you are doing and you know both what commands you enter actually do, and any implications of entering them.
