Hitachi WRT0 & WRT1 Modules

So I'm working on the following drive:
Model : Hitachi HTS545025B9SA02
Serial : 100325PBL2003SHBJR9V
Firmware : PB2AC60W
Capacity : 232.89 GB (488 397 168)

Drive IDs perfectly, shows correct capacity, etc. But I have no sector access. I ran a check of the modules in the modules table and a number of modules come up with errors mostly all in the F copy. Copies 0 and 1 look to be fine except for a couple modules called WRT1 and WRT0 which can't be read. I checked the backed up resources of a number of this model that I had in my FW collection and none seem to have these modules. Does anyone know if they just don't normally get backed up?

Unfortunately I don't have one here now to check it...

I've tried reading the modules by composite too, but can't get them. Does anyone have these?

Update: Ok, so I found a very similar model and confirmed that it doesn't by default back up those two modules unless you uncheck the box "skip non-critical modules".

Does anyone have a drive of this model & fw or a really close one that I can get a copy of the modules?

Update: I actually found a very similar drive (same family, different model) which is working and it too can't read those modules. So I'm guessing they are non-critical. Which I guess raises more questions now than it gives answers... perhaps it's a PCB issue. :?:
