Seagate 7200.3 Momentus with 0LBA problem just like the 7200.11

[gtd4242]

I was curious if anyone here might know the commands used, or a good source that I can use with regard to correcting a 0 LBA problem on a 7200.3 Momentus drive. Drive recognized properly in BIOS. No clicking. Simply shows 0 lba just like the 7200.11 drives. I've done quite a few 7200.11's but this is the first Momentus drive I've seen with these symptoms. I have another 7200.3 drive here that I'm using to practice with, but the typical command to regenerate the partition on the 7200.11 doesn't appear to be the same.

In terminal I get normal output:

Rst 0x10M

I enter:

F3 T>m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22

and get:

DiagError 0000500E Process Defect List Error

R/W Sense 00000002, R/W Error 841C0087, List Offset 00000000, File Error 0000000

Like I said, that was just a practice drive I'm using, so I don't mind taking chances with that one. I want to make sure I have the right command for this particular model, before I try and restore the drive that is having the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah thanks. I had seen those couple of links. I know the command is something simple, and I just can't find it anywhere. I've looked everywhere, or at least it seems like I have.
