Problem with Seagate 7200.11 1TR

Xorgetra · Jul 1, 2011

Guys , when i connect the Hard drive to the pc , i feel that its starts and then shuts down , and the process repeats every 10 secs , one friend told me that i need to install a new firmware to the hard drive ?

Any suggestions ?

Thanks !!

Is the drive detected in the BIOS?

Nop , i can not even get inside the bios casue in the board screen it completely freezes!

So you start powered off, connect the hdd, power on and then it loops in a restart?

Try another power connector, sata cable, or sata port on the board.

Did already .. and also tried in a friends house and the same problem ...

The 7200.11 drives were the ones that had firmware problems. Sounds like you might need a new drive.

A hard drive wouldn't cause POST to halt. Something more sinister is going on. What happens when the drive is unplugged? What happens if the drive is plugged into a separate hard drive controller (like a Silicon Image, Realtek, or Marvell chip)?

That drive is bad and you need to RMA it. It sounds like this friend is gonna do more harm than good, so try and get it back off him asap.

Did he say what he was gonna do to it? I bet it's a firmware flash. However, with the drive looping like that it will be impossible. Most likely it has a mechanical failure causing it to shut down like that. Some kind of electronics failure causing a mechanical malfunction will also cause it.

from the ppl ino that had problems with Seagate's 7200.11 serie they needed to sent them to Seagate to get a firmware update, that's just all ino ^^;

Not all the 7200.11's were bad mind you. I have a 750 which i've had for almost 2 years with 0 issues out of it, now the 1.5'tbs i've had a crap load of issues. but as everyone else said you'll more than likely need to rma it.

Today i FINALLY got a response from my friend , he said that he couldn fix the hard drive !!! , not even with different firmware , so , case closed =)
