 |
|
Hello!
Please, someone would be so kind to answer to my questions?
If yes, thanks a lot in advance!
THE FACT...
- I have two HDD Seagate:
Hard Disk A: Seagate Barracuda 7200.8, 300GB, Ultra ATA, Model ST3300831A, P/N 9Y7284-301, firmware 3.02 (its Logic Board has burnt!)
Hard DIsk B: Seagate Barracuda 7200.8, 300GB, Ultra ATA, Model ST3300831A, P/N 9Y7284-301, firmware 3.03 (its Logic Board works perfectly)
- I've replaced the HDD Logic Board on unit A, from the unit B, in order to recover my data (or at least, to try to do it!), but the system doesn't detect the HDD, I think because of the different firmware version
THE QUESTIONS...
1)
may I upgrade or replace the firmware on the Logic Board of Hard Disk B, from 3.03 up to 3,02, so that to try to replace the Logic Board burnt on Hard Disk A and then to recover my data?
2)
If YES, How it can be done? What procedure it requires? (I'm unable to manage DOS language!)
3)
we suppose I'll do it... which risks I run onto damage to the Logic Board, or to the Hard Disk, or to the data?
4)
we suppose I'll do it, and in order to recover my data from Disk A, I've still upgraded or replaced the firmware on the Logic Board of the Disk B from 3.03 up to 3.02,... then I'll not be more able to use the Disk B again? Perhaps I have to replace again the old firmware on the Logic Board?
5) does it exist a 'generic' firmware with which is possible to approach to data of any Hard Disks of same model?
6) a last question (but not as "last"!)... where i can download firmwares for Seagate Barracuda 7200.8, Ultra ATA, Model ST3300831A?
A last question_
On my fried HDD Logic Board, (Seagate Barracuda, 300GB UATA, Mod. ST3300831A, fw.3.02), I see that is damaged a little component, and my guess is that it is the origin of the problem. It has diameter of about 4mm, is a round black cover which contains a small spiral with two point of connection (weldings). On the Logic Board there are, of them, three identical, and on each of them is printed the same number: '3R3'. Someone knows what it is? Someone knows where is possible to find it for purchasing?
I would be very grateful to everybody who wants to answer....
(I'm sorry for my awful english!)
