editor to open up your drive and check if you have access to other sectors other than sector 0.If you have, sector 0 might be damaged and that's not a big issue.If you don't, then probably your drive has any other problem that is outside DIY.

State Registered: May 20, 2000Posts: http://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php?t=20427&start= 6547 Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2012 8:51 am So, here's the long version:I've got 3 matched 320GB Maxtor SATA drives that I'm trying to use on an Adaptec 3805 SAS/SATA RAID card. It throws a fit every time it tried to initialize two of the drives for some reason. I've tried different cables, different sockets on the card, and spent a day (literally, 22 hours, 40 minutes) having the Adaptec zero the drives. I then pulled the drives and threw http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?t=1170086 them at Win7 to create a partition and format, no dice. I tried Acronis and Easeus and still no love. I then downloaded the Seatools and tried that. Turns out that according to Seatools, the problem is a "Sector 0 error" and it can't fix them. I know these worked at one time as the previous machine I had them in was a Dell Optiplex and they were striped on an nVidia 680i motherboard via the onboard nVRaid controller (play box) and worked without a hitch.I'm suspecting that somewhere in the creating the array on the nVidia board, something got written to the drives and I can't get it cleared or reset. Is that correct? Is there some other reason 2 drives would have the exact same failure at the same time? More importantly, is there a way to repair the drives so I can get them up and running??Tl;Dr: Two drives with "Sector 0 Error" coming up, can it be fixed?Thanks guys!
