I have a HDD TOSHIBA MK4032GAX HDD2D10 TO ZL01 When connecting it to PC-3000 UDMA, gives the following messages of error

Techno On............................... : Techno On error : Drive is not ready

Zone table.............................. : Zone table read error Drive is not ready

G-List reading error.................... : SA read error : Drive is not ready

CP Avalable............................. : 33,34,44,56,91,92,93,94,95,97,98,9A,9B,AA,BB,C1,CC,DD


What I can make for recovery data.

What's the symptoms of the drive?

Dear CarlosAdolfo,

This can happen because Toshiba drives require Cable-select mode turned on.
Please, choose in Cable Select control menu ATA0 channel or ATA1 channel ( depends where HDD is connected )

Regards.

Dear Igor,
Datalabace

In order to eliminate of the bad connection, it uses a HDD TOSHIBA, MK8025GAS, which I work correctly. (Detecting all its parameters HDD).

Change the disc by patient MK4032GAX, PC-3000 UDMA does not detect anything of (MODEL SERIAL FIRMWARE).
Use commando TOOLS - UTILITY EXTENSIONS - CP DIRECTORY (checking modules) all the modules leave without with error in reading.


Not that I can more make to verify that real problem has the HDD

Please make a screenshot after you will enter utility and post it there.
Also tell us please if you have a donor drive?
Is it possible for you to try on your patient drive donors pcb?
It will not let you read the data but the drive will enter ready state.

Sorry for digging out so old topic but i had the exact same problem with exact same model.

Symptoms - error as described in 1. post, drive DID NOT initialise, neither did not spin but made silent buzzing noise repeatedly.

Solution:

Opened drive up, drive had head in the middle of the disk and disk was not spinning when power was applied.
Rotated disk by hand (from the centre holes ofc ) and moved the heads to park position.
Next try - disk initialised OK, now it is copyng data.

Hope it helps
