I've got a WD2500JS with one head that went bad.

Before it went bad, I was able to read modules & service tracks, and wrote service tracks to donor.

Hawk will not boot after disabling any heads; doing a smart hot swap doesn't seem to work either, if a head is bad.

How can I access and read data from remaining 5 good heads? head map editing does not work on this model. Do I need to modify module 47?

Thanks in advance,

Wich head number are you having problem ?

I would try new heads if the surface is not damaged.
If it's not coming ready (probably) due to he alignment problem you could try to hotswap with the already prepared donow drive - in rare occasions it works.
