Command-line or other troubleshooting a damaged [apparently] HDD?
Guys, I too have a sickly Seagate ST1000LM 035-1RK172 HDD like others I've seen posted here and elsewhere.
I am not highly skilled on HDD resurrection so if you can point me to a good tutorial, I would like to attempt to do enough troubleshooting to see if I can force this thing, through command-line arguments or something, to hang with me long enough to see what the root of the trouble is.
Any links or subforums or whatever that are more than just echo-chamber would be most appreciated.. The drive will not stay in communication for more than a few seconds, and then only randomly - I have to 'get lucky'
