PCB (printed on right corner of PCB) : 100512588 Rev A Its working fine now and have backed up all the data. As Seagate does not warrant the data on your drive, in addition to regular back-ups, your data should be backed up, if possible, before upgrading the drive firmware.I was able to recover my harddisk with following details from the BUSY (aka BSY) error by using the USB to TTL method of issuing serial ATA commands to the PCB. If the firmware upgrade installation instructions are not followed properly, the firmware upgrade could be data destructive and/or render your hard drive inoperable. If firmware is available, we recommend that you make a backup before running the actual update and that you read and follow all instructions, cautions and warnings that may be displayed. If you are troubleshooting a system or operating system problem, you should not consider firmware updates until after exploring more typical troubleshooting steps like file system error checking and anti-virus scanning.
This situation has improved and Seagate now offers firmware updates as a routine matter for the general support of your Seagate drive. This situation, in part, was based on a lack of friendly firmware download tools and operating system limitations. Until recently, firmware updates for typical desktop and laptop computers were difficult and somewhat risky. Please note that Seagate does not offer details about specific firmware. Firmware for legacy products will be the final release from manufacturing. If newer firmware is available for your drive, it will reflect the improvements we have engineered for the latest manufacturing. Please check in regularly at the Seagate Download Finder to determine if new firmware is available for your drive. Every drive family has a couple of firmware releases during the life of the product. Like any software, firmware is improved over time and problems are also fixed. Seagate recommends applying new firmware to enhance the performance and or reliability of your drive.
