Looking for some help with Xebec drives. I tried to reformat a drive because of bad spots but created an unusable drive. This drive has just one cable.and No third party software will low level format it.l I tried Speedstor, Disk Manager and Disk Technition. There doesn't seem to be a prom on the board so I cant' use debug. The problem I am having is once I did Dos format the drive wouldn't write anymore but Norton Disk Doctor said everything was ok. There are some utilities that came with the drive to do a low level format (which seems to work until it gets to the end when it writes the flaw table and gives an error message. I then use the software that came with it to partition it and that seems to work ok also. If I use Fdisk to partition it,Fdisk Fdisk just hangs. I still can't write to the drive. Does anyone know or have one of these drives and know what I'm talking about. I would appreciate any help. Thanks
