Hi all,
I was directed here by someone who saw the more global forums discussing about this over at :
http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=128092&st=220
For Malaysians (in KL) who are affected by this stupid self-coma hard disk, I'm suggesting that we share and buy 1 unit of the HD Doctor for Seagate. That is known to be able to fix the hard disk without loss of data. There are people in UK + Canada who has confirmed that and I have also gotten a quotation from SalvationData.
I will be purchasing that very soon (before end of January - might delay to after CNY as the company is in China) but it's really costly. In order to recoup some of my costs, I'm proposing to fix other self-coma-ed hard disk for a small fee.
For those interested, please send me an email poolcarpet at yahoo dot com. Note that I am located in KL, Malaysia.
P/s: Anyone also contemplating to buy the HD Doctor? Just to avoid the situation where 2 or more people end up buying the same HD Doctor just to fix their single hard disk.
Thank you!

and post the details of your hard disk to DerSnoezie - he/she is from Holland and is doing the world community a great service by trying to compile the list of all the failed drives and come out with enough numbers to proof that this is no random hardware failure.
To be honest, since there's such a software that is able to fix the issue, the world community (or at least Malaysia) should pressure Seagate into buying that blardy software and fixing the problem, or maybe appoint a service centre in each state or region and get the software for them. As individuals we shouldn't have to spend a dime to fix the manufacturer's problem. As a company with huge interests in protecting their brand equity esp in these tough times, they should spend (what should be considered peanuts to them) a bit of dosh in acquiring the software and putting the case to rest once and for all.I was directed here by someone who saw the more global forums discussing about this over at :

That's what I call a proactive company. Otherwise, if my 1TB fails I'd probably get your help to fix it, then I'll never touch Seagate for as long as I can use a computer.
