Problem with maxtor hdd

[djino]

The disc crash ,Electornica is good but the dish inside has
broken on the null sector.So I took and rotate the plate
but now i have to write null sector on the plate.
So i heard that i have to connect the pin-s on hdd in the combination and
just instert the el.power and then the chip on disk write null sector on
plate.
Does someone do this ever ?
I need the sheme or eny help .

if you have the url or something similar mail me at [email protected]

One more thing the disk is Maxtor 40 GB


Thanks in advance..

I can't understand your message too much, but do you mean the 'Track 0' (sp?,
portuguese term is 'trilha 0') on the hard drive? Or do you mean the boot
sector? Or ...?

I meen the boot sector or null sector .Place where are stored informations
about the hdd parametars.

I have one Maxtor slim (one plate) disk.The size is 40 GB.He become unstable
and
I lose my all my data.Bios see the disk just fine.I try to repair it from
dos with
pqmagic,fdisk/mbr,Unix fips etc.But the error is still there.Neither one OS
( windows or Unix-linux,Free Bsd,Suse) can see the disk.After i realise that
the electornic part are OK I decide to open itand reverse the plate
I Heard that when they assembling HARD DISK's in factories they
use Procedure for creating null or boot sector.They conect the power (12 V)
and some pins (of the hdd cable).When the power is on the chip on hdd write
boot or null sector on the disc plate.Considering i reverse the plate in the
disc
i wonder is there somebody who know Anyhow to do this.Or is there any plan
or diagram
or something Similarly that i can create null (boot) sector.
If somebody have any information about this topic or URL,forum i will be
very
appreciative

Well, when you opened up the disk without clean-room facilities, and without
knowing what you were doing before starting... You have pretty much killed
that drive.

Boot sector is the area which has the boot info (i.e. which OS'es are
installed). If Windows is installed on this HD AND this HD is FAT32, get a boot
disk (from Win95 or 98 will do), hook up this HD as C:, and run FDISK /MBR.

This is not the solution.I'm not trying to repair disk
or to erase Master Boot Record (therefore it's impossible).
Hard Disc is corrupted very bad.
What I'm trying to do is to create correct disk on the
other side of the broken plate.
But to do that i need to know what pin-s on the HDD
cable connector to link in the short circuit.

Does anybody know something about that ?

I don't think there is a fix by the method you suggest.

Maxtor probably has a diagnostic test program which can do a low level
format to your disk if it is possible to save it.

I suspect that the fact that you have flipped the disk over means that
this disk drive will not be repairable.
