>HDD=HDD Soft+HDD Hard HDD Software Elements HDD Firmware=ABA, located on minus tracks HDD Data Area=LBA, located on positive tracks
HDD Firmware=SA vs ROM HDD Firmware=Key Data Recovery Modules+ROM
>> WD Firmware Elements >> Seagate Firmware Elements >> Samsung Firmware Elements >> Toshiba Firmware Elements >> Hitachi Firmware Elements
>HDD Hardware Elements=Platters+ Heads+ PCB(ROM Chip)+ Motor+ Parking Ramp+ Top Magnet+ Filter + Proper Head Tools+ Cleaning Environment
>HDD Booting Process
Power on HDD | PCB Power on-read ROM, PCB hardware checking, ROM content checking | Spin Motor, moving heads and platters, platter, motor and heads checking | Read SA, firmware checking | Compare ROM and SA | Start seeking and read other SA modules, Smart, ATA, ID, adaptives, etc. | Boot normally or not.
>Diagnosis and hdd status? Detailed HDD Diagnosis Steps and HDD Status analysis

Day 3 Seagate HDD repair and Data Recovery
Seagate HDD type and terminal diagnosis rate: T> HDDs and F3 T> HDDs T>HDDs examples: 7200.8, 9, 10, etc; baud rate=9600 F3 T>HDDs examples: 7200.11, 12, 14, 5400.6, DM, LM, etc. baud rate=38400 Within COM Mode, to read/write firmware, SYS, users can select higher baud rate.
Seagate work modes: ATA and COM modes Users need to connect COM cable and run many repair commands Seagate Key Firmware Modules Firmware Modules: *** SYS Files:*** Most common and universal repair commands: *** User practice
Capacity 0: head read-only: ***
How to read and write ROM and user practice How to read and write firmware modules and user practice Key firmware modules | User Practice How to read and write sys files and user practice Key system files | User Practice How to Initialize ID by ATA and COM mode | User Practice How to do track and ABA Repair How to unlock hard drives and run repair? How to Edit HDD ID for Seagate F3 hard drives? Very slow to detect-Slow DE: *** HDD Doesn’t Spin-DM002: *** How to downgrade FW and access to F3 T>. Head map editing in RAM: *** F3 Head Swap Success Secrets: *** Undetected HDD-DM002, 7200.12: head types DFL Method, users can get preamp type from ROM, very easy. SSHD no Spinning: 8G SSD data error-How to fix-*** Seagate COM terminal error messages and fixes (Seagate Terminals and Fixes)-Users can learn different error messages output in the COM terminal and then how to fix them
