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.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)
and some pins (of the hdd cable).When the power is on the chip on hdd write
boot or null sector on the disc plate.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 i can create null (boot) sector.
If somebody have any information about this topic or URL,forum i will be
very
appreciative

Man, what a stupid person you are. No wonder you live in Yugoslavia!
You've completely destroyed the drive. Save up your rubles or whatever
clams they use over there for money and buy yourself a new MFM drive. Da!
