This tutorial is not for inexperienced users!!! Do NOT POWER OFF YOUR hdd, computer, during it, (EXCEPT IF I SAY SO)and you just to be sure connect your computer to UPS.
First you must have to build serial rs232 converter to TX,RX GND, you can use any data cable from your cell phone from Siemens 35 series custom build data cable buid on this picture with max232. Be sure that you put zener diode 2V7 at the picture..Because you could burn your Tx, Rx, on HDD-s PCB.
So, when you build, get your adapter, connect it to this pins on Seagate drive.
[ ”””””””’| |””””’ ] [ .. ..] —-> Rx.. Tx
You do not need to connect SERIAL-ATA CABEL
open hyper terminal or another type of terminal select Serial port example “COM1”
set bit rate to 38400bps
data bits 8
parity N
stop bits 1
it’s default settings except bps.
plug power to disk and after that you will see on terminal something like this:
PART 1
Rst 0x10M
hit Ctrl + Z to get “prompt”
F3 T>
now, if your BIOS recognize disk but there is 0 LBA,0 capacity
all you need is to hit this command:
F3 T>m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22 Enter
!!!IMPORTANT, don’t turn hdd power off, or comp off, wait about 30 sec to 2 minutes until it finished!!!
then you see something like this.
Max Wr Retries = 00, Max Rd Retries = 00, Max ECC T-Level = 14, Max Certify Rewrite Retries = 00C8 Max retries Wr = 00, Max Rd retries = 00, Max T-ECC Level = 14, Max certify Rewrite retries = 00C8
User Partition Format 10% complete, Zone 00, Pass 00, LBA 00004339, Err Code 00000080, Elapsed Time 0 minutes 05 seconds User Partition Format 10% complete, Zone 00, Pass 00, LBA 00004339, Err Code 00000080, Elapsed Time 0 minutes 05 seconds
User Partition Format Successful – Elapsed Time 0 minutes 05 seconds User Partition Successful Format – Elapsed Time 0 minutes 05 seconds
After that hit
F3 T>/2
and
F3 2>Z
Spin Down Complete
Elapsed Time 3.038 msecs
Turn off power from your HDD, od shutdown your computer.
WARNING: Please do NOT try this if you have valuable data on your drive. Do not blame anyone if something goes wrong. You do it at your own risk. Remember that if something goes wrong, it is extremely unlikely that anyone will be able to help you remotely. One wrong command via terminal could easily result in a completely bricked HDD (I really do mean bricked = no one will be able to recover it, even Seagate).

I was wondering how low you could go with hardware that would still be able to smoothly run HD movies. My current plan is around $215 CAD w/o a hard drive: Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.2 GHz – 1GB DDR/SDRAM – 512MB X1600 Pro AGP – 350W PSU – ECS P4VXASD2+ – Bluray/DVD-RW drive. As…
How can I make command aliases in Windows’ Command Prompt like I would with bash? I found out about doskey in a forum thread, so I can do something like: doskey ls=dir /b …and now the command ls acts a little more like ls on Unix. (I type ls so often in cmd, it isn’t…
Case:The hard disk of Seagate 320GB uses the Windows XP system. It originally had 4 partitions C D E F. The system was too slow, so the system was reinstalled. After installing the system, the C drive was left. The D E F disk was gone. Solution:It is determined that the error caused by error…
Case:The Linux operating system, the file system is EXT3, the original RAID6 composed of 12 2T hard disks is stored. This storage has 3 LUNs, each of which is 6TB size.The storage weight of this failure is allocated to allocate RAID and initializes it.After the initialization is for a long time, the maintenance staff sees…
From a Global Monthly Search Volume by Google: computer repair 823,000; data recovery, 2,240,000; file recovery, 673,000; recovery software, 368,000; disaster recovery, 301,000. We can obviously see there are more and more people reverting their attention to data recovery field.
Above numbers of statistics are still increasing and such numbers bring a prosperous employment and development to IT industry. Especially under the pressure of financial crisis, many IT companies are adding some new services of Data recovery. Therefore, many new data recovery companies are set up and even many personal IT engineers are looking for data recovery training to be a qualified data recovery engineer.
This is a great, increasing and potential market full of competition! So, what is the new movement of big data recovery companies?
The new movement of Data recovery Services providers
These companies are mainly providing data recovery services to personal computer users, data related companies, institutes, educational centers, police and even government, depending on their marketing network and skills level. Such data recovery companies usually have many offices in different cities of different countries. They are now managing to provide a wider range of data related services, such as Hard Drive Recovery, Laptop Recovery, Desktop Recovery, Server Recovery, RAID Recovery, Tape Recovery, Mobile Device Recovery and other types of recovery services. These companies are also buying and taking advantages of more of the current best data recovery tools from different manufacturers. These tools contain data recovery software, data recovery equipment (usually hardware and software complex tools) and data recovery hardware. More tools and more services need a big market to digest and then they are taking some measures to expand themselves. For example, on April 13th, Stellar Acquired RSE Data Recovery Services B.V.. “We are delighted about this acquisition, which will further pave the way for our growth in the European market. Stellar would now also be able to serve its MNC customers with European presence more effectively. This acquisition offers us an excellent opportunity to tap into the knowledge and experience of RSE Data Recovery and springboard our growth plans.” informed Sunil Chandna, CEO, Stellar Information Systems Ltd.
“We have been offering data recovery services to European customers for over 10 years. We will be bringing in invaluable market knowledge and expertise. This acquisition will be invaluable to the development & growth of Stellar and will bring in lot of value to the customers of both the companies,” commented Ernst Eder, COO, RSE Data Recovery Services. However, these expansions don’t mean there’s no space for small and middle sized data recovery services providers, big companies charge usually much higher and many end users can not afford to it.
So only if you can provide professional data recovery services with professional data recovery equipment and you are able to have a seat in this great market.
The new movement of Data recovery tools manufacturers
According to a search in Google and other data recovery forums, we can find out some good data recovery equipment providers like ACE laboratory, SalvationDATA, Atola, Stellar Data recovery, Ontrack Data recovery, X-ways software, DeepSpar, etc. Among them, ACE and SalvationDATA are manufacturing some familiar tools for firmware repair and Data extraction, Atola as well. Their tools are usually data recovery equipment mentioned above, hardware and software complex tools. There’s one tool called HD HPE PRO other manufacturers don’t have provided by SalvationDATA to disassemble the disks(Supporting 2.5″ and 3.5″) and remove heads or multiple platters. Other manufacturers are mainly providing data recovery software.
These manufacturers are now working hard to compete and survive with their own advantages. They are now managing to add more disk manufacturers, disk models, more medias supported and more failures to handle, Like SD added spacer solution to HD HPE PRO, HFS+/HFSX and EXT2(3) file systems and RAID recovery supported by Data Compass, flash doctor to be available in July. ACE is going to add RAID soon, to add new Toshiba SATA Hard Disk drives support in PC-3000 UDMA utility. ACE is also cooperating with Deepspar in Canada. Anyway, it’s hard to find data recovery tools manufacturers to combine, with technologies shared. Nobody has all the best data recovery technologies and solutions. That’s why it is necessary if you have the budget to consider more tools from different manufacturers. This does adds to our cost. I hope one day, some of the best can truly be hand in hand and create some universal and friendly data recovery tools for all people to use.
Actually, Data recovery to Data Loss is like Doctors to diseases.
We can keep fit but we cannot dismiss the doctors. It’s the same thing. We can backup all important files but data recovery field is still growing.
