Hello guys, I did everything right, only powering the HDD with the usb controller was no good idea. by means the USB SATA controller was blocking my RS232 connection. I connected the HDD to my computer and then everything went fine. Even my data was still available. Thank you very much! Tom

Hello, I have a Seagate 7200.11 500GB hard drive with this bloody failure. I managed to buy a CA-42 cable and connected it. The hdd is powered with a pcb from an external USB-SATA-controller. I am using Putty. I also can establish a connection, but then I get the following messages: F3 T>/8 F3 8>Z LED:000000CE FAddr:00280565 LED:000000CE FAddr:00280565 LED:000000CE FAddr:00280565 F3 T>/1 F3 1> TNRERR F 34 S 80 TNRERR F 27 S 80 F3 1>N1 LED:000000CC FAddr:0025BF63 LED:000000CC FAddr:0025BF63 LED:000000CC FAddr:0025BF63 LED:000000CC FAddr:0025BF63 LED:000000CC FAddr:0025BF63 LED:000000CC FAddr:0025BF63 I guess it is in the BSY state as the latest message is coming periodically. I also tried entering the commands in level 8, but with the same result.Does anybody have an idea? is my drive damaged? Thanks in advance! Tom
