About Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival is a popular event in China, also it is a national holiday. It takes place on the fifth day of fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. This year it falls on June 10, Monday.

This celebration has been in existence for over 2000 years. What do people do to celebrate this Festival? We usually eat rice dumplings, drink realgar wine, and race dragon boats. Other activities includes hanging mugwort and calamus, taking long walks, writing spells and wearing perfumed medicine bags.

Dragon boat racing is the most popular part of this Festival. Boats are decorated to look like dragons. They can be up to 65 feet long. They can hold up to 22 people. Paddlers in the boat race train to paddle very quickly. They also train to paddle in sync with other team members. The team who wins the race believes they will receive good luck.

Recently Dolphin team got some enquiries of Seagate hdd head replacement tools for heads parking on the platters, mainly for Seagate Barracuda 7200.11, 7200.12, etc.

The following are some tools which can do the job:

Seagate 7200.10 11 12 LP SV35.5 Head Unstuck And Replacement Tool Package-P1 Version
Seagate 7200.10 11 12 LP SV35.5 Head Replacement Tool-P2 Version
Seagate Head Replacement Tools For 7200.11 And 7200.12

This is one detected Western Digital patient hard drive. When the user tried to scan the data area, it was full of purple sectors which meant no data was accessible.

Next the user entered the COM terminal and got the following error messages:

The user couldn’t enter F3 T> at all.

The user was then suggested to swap heads to continue the hdd repair. After head swap, the patient drive was detected and the data area was accessible. The user set up one disk image project, set up head map and finally imaged all heads by DFL-DDP data recovery software.

Here is the video introduction to above case.

WD10JMVW-11AJGS2 is one Western Digital SED laptop hard drive. It’s very common to deal with the firmware corrupted cases of these WD SED HDDs.

For this patient WD SED HDD, the firmware area couldn’t be accessed directly, the rom couldn’t be read either. The patient HDD was detected wrongly and running slowly.

To fix the firmware issue, the engineer short connected tv9 and tv10, read rom, disable 02, slow fix, firmware restart and the patient hdd was detected properly by DFL-WD hdd repair tool.

After the firmware repair, the user opened the DFL-DDP data recovery software but the result was bad because no partitions were detected, no folders, no files.

The user viewed the source drive sector 0 and didn’t find any partition mark of 55 AA and other hex data was not normal at encrypted status. The user tried using the auto decryption function but the software asked for inputing the software and finally failed.

The user went back to DFL-WD firmware repair software, went to FW Operations>Module Editing>Edit HDD ID>Security Subsystem, ticked the SED and firmware restart, went to DFL-DDP, the lost partition, folders and files were all available for immediate data recovery.

There’re more and more SED hard drives used in the pc market and when these SED protected hard drives are damaged, users need to diagnose the failure causes, unlock the firmware area, backup firmware modules and then recover lost data.

To repair Seagate SED hard drives, users need to unlock the firmware area first. To unlock the firmware area, users need to backup rom and generate unlock rom. To generate unlock rom, users get three options:

01:  MODE 1
02: MODE 2 (AF, 91, CF)
03: MODE 3 (AF)

MODE 1 is for standard Seagate F3 SED hard drives, Mode 2 is for new generation of AF, 91 and CF families, MODE 3 is for old generation of AF family.

After generating and writing the correct unlock ROM, the DFL Seagate firmware repair software sends unlock key and unlocks the firmware area successfully.
