From: fjh on 22 Sep 2005 17:50 Rod thanks for all your help. Based on the situation i have to give up ! i'll look for a lower price Recovery fee ,and if i didn't find a resonable one i'll freeze the drive,i got this idea from my beloved 8052.comforum to freeze the drive and try if it works if intrested go here : http://www.8052.com/forum/thread.phtml?thread=101261 and if it doesn't worked i'll try to open the HDD seal and look for a DIY repairable damage hopefully in a clean room. >She's dead, Jim. You into necrophilia ? could you please elaborate this line to me, i didn't find any info on "Jim. You into necrophilia ?" by searching on Google nor in Wikipedia ?

You into necrophilia ? > could you please elaborate this line to me, Its a joke. Look up the word necrophilia in the dictionary. http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=necrophilia The "She's dead, Jim" comes from one of the movies, Star Trek http://digitallyobsessed.com/showreview.php3?ID=633 > i didn't find any info on "Jim.

Yup, above your comprehension. 16383 is the maximum supported number for Cylinders with a 16H/63S translation on the physical interface. > > > What is the Landing Zone which is defineable in the BIOS ? > > A relic of the past, its completely irrelevant now. > > > Drive Refuses to pass any other 3 tests by > > stating "Contact the Maxtor" other tests are : > > - Quick Test (90 sec.) > > - Full Test > > - Burn in test > > She's dead, Jim.

So does the 79656*16*63. The 79656 is a purely cosmetic number for displaying purposes only, (re)calculated from the 80293332 LBA number, divided by 16*63. It doesn't exist anywhere else other than is apps that stupidly insist on using CHS values beyond the 8GB CHS limit . > > > SPT: 63 > > That is a fake/dummy value.

You into necrophilia ?
