Hello,
I'm still pretty new to DR and bought the PC3000 Portable. I've been practicing now on an old drive with 5 heads, head 3 is very slow and now stoped at all reading data.
As I was able to image the other platters, only the platter with head 3 is left. My idea was now, not to look for a donor to replace the heads, but swap the platters, eg. platter 3 with platter 0 as head 0 is fine.
Would this work? And how would I tell PC 3000 or the HDD in the firmware that head 0 reads now the data of head 3?
I'm looking forward to your feedback. Let me know if this is a stupid idea or would actually work.
Kind regards
Matthias
