1-Could any one tell me how to use loader for WD5000Ks-00MNB0, Zeus drive,
2-Can we, recover Data via Loader, or it is only used for Diagnosis.
3-When I disabled heads 6, 7, the drive is detected normally but in DE, it copied only first 3000 sectors, then black sectors.

Your Help is appreciated.

Thank you

Hi,
Had the same problem disable head 6 and 7 , but could not copy the data.

Maybe if do something to the translator it should be able to get some data, but waiting for developer to say something about that problem.

Loader is simply module 11 from donor drive. It can be used to repair defective drives, but not with physical damage. When disabling heads you need to also remove defects based on these heads, and also try using the UDMA 33 option as opposed to UDMA 66. I have tried this myself with no luck, but if you manage to recover user data please can you let me know!!
