HDD interface problem
hello all
ive got this seagate harddrive i would like to turn to a MP3 player, the project still have a long way to go. anyway the HDD was working fine on the beginning but now every time i try to read a sector it gives and error and when i check the error register the ABRT bit is on !! why is the drive aborting the read sector command ???
other command works fine like spin up/down, read ID
so i tried hooking it up to my PC and the BIOS,windows sees the drive although windows dosent give it a drive letter but its there on th device list. so i downloaded a program called winhex and when i try to read the drive it skips all sectors
what do you think happened to the drive ? is this recoverable ??
thanks for your time.
