Hi Gurus,
I have just done some tests on a Barracuda 7200.12 drive ST31000528AS which is not accessible in XP/7/Linux.
I have posted below the result of a SCAN using MHDD in DOS. The bad blocks begin almost immediately (before the scan has even reached 0.1 %) After a while I started skipping through. Identical results are achieved when rescanned.
Could anyone speculate on what that might mean (head crash/firmware/PCB error)?
The only click that can be heard is on powering up the drive one relatively loud clunk / click can be heard. After that it stays spun up but silent. Firmware has been automatically updated. THe drive has also been through a BSY fix as it was initially invisible.
I´d like to know if this is a surface problem or board problem because if it is a board problem I will change the board and chip.
Thank for any help.
