I have one Maxtor slim (one plate) disk.The size is 40 GB.He become unstable and I lose my all my data.Bios see the disk just fine.But any system(windows or Unix) do not see him.I try to repair it from dos with pqmagic,fdisk/mbr,Unix fips etc.But the error is still there.Neither one OS ( windows or Unix-linux,Free Bsd,Suse) can see the disk.After i realise that the electornic part are OK I decide to open itand reverse the plate I Heard that when they assembling HARD DISK's in factories they use Procedure for creating null or boot sector.They conect the power (12 V) on some pins on HDD .When the power is on the chip on hdd write sector on the disc plate.In this sector we can create boot sector.Considering i reverse the plate in the disc. I wonder is there somebody who know anyhow to do this.Or is there any plan or diagram or something similarly that can create that null (boot) sector. If somebody have any information about this topic or URL,forum i will be very appreciative
