| Maxtor Technology Repair and Recovery |
1 Day
Code: CSL1007
Duration: 1 Day
Pre-requisites: Basic HDD Data Recovery (CSL1001)
The course is intended to allow delegates who already possess a degree of knowledge and experience of Hard Disk Drive technology to get the very best out of the Maxtor HDD Doctor product. Delegates will also be given an in-depth understanding of Maxtor HDD theory, design and firmware architecture.
Learning Objectives:
(i) To provide a critical understanding of Maxtor HDD operation and physical design;
(ii) To provide an in-depth knowledge of Maxtor firmware structures and the operation and importance of crucial Service Area (SA) modules;
(iii) To develop diagnostic skills based on the Maxtor HDD Doctors;
(iv) To develop a comprehensive recovery procedure for most common problems with Maxtor HDDs;
Course Content:
Maxtor HDD design principal and firmware service area structure:
- The range of models and family categorization, together with the compatibility and component matching criteria that need to be considered if components, PCBs, firmware and firmware modules are to be replaced or repaired.
- The role and compatibility of other PCB component types, such as ROM (adaptive data), IC chips and passive electronic components (resistor, diode, fuse);
- The different addressing modes to access the service area of Maxtor drives and their advantages;
- The architecture of drive firmware and firmware modules together with the role of specific modules (U-list, P-list Index, ATA, etc,) and their functionality and compatibility;
- The key roles of various defect list such as P-list, G-list and U-list in drive operation and data recovery;
- Head map and zone allocation table;
With reference to the Seagate HDD Doctor software, its operation in the following fields will be examined:
- Diagnosis of various fault scenarios using information displayed by the software;
- Head distribution analysis and management;
- Firmware management, defect scanning and up/download procedures;
- Firmware Module analysis and management;
- Firmware ‘Library’ navigation and manipulation;
- Service Area management and defect scanning;
- HDD loading management and boot management;
- ROM management;
- Defect Lists, their management and manipulation;
- ‘Section’ structures and management;
- Password manipulation and removal;
- ‘Hot Swaps’ of PCBs;
- ‘SELFSCAN’ auto rebuilding functions;
- HDD parameter modifications;
- Motor operation;
- HDD power management;
Using the HD Doctor software and knowledge gained through the course, delegates will consider various case studies and undertake practical exercises in such operations as:
- Rectification of ‘Undetectable’ drives;
- Defect list manipulation and ‘Hot Swaps’ operation (Including use of the Data Compass);
- Password removal;
