Hi there,

I happen to have a Seagate ST-4038  hd-drive that doesn't work.
My AT-clone gives error code 1714 'drive not ready' but I suppose that
1714 is a common ec for all kinds of disk errors.
My hd controller (based on Western Digital chips) is ok (I've tested
it with an other drive).

I am very interested in getting my hard disk working again with very
little costs. Does anybody have any kinds of suggestions what to do.
Is it possible to buy hd-drive logic boards as a spare part ?
Should I try to low-level-format my drive (where to get program ?) ?
 
Please write to comp.sys.ibm.pc or e-mail.

Thanx,
