[post]14428[/post] For example if platter 01 damaged
After reading all your posts in this thread (3 times), it's not clear if this is a case you're actually working with or if you're collecting information.
If it IS a case, can you provide more information? What model? How many heads? SA on Toshibas is on top surface area so for example if you're working with a drive with 2 heads and platter 01 is damaged, the outlook for this case is dim. If you've got 4 heads and 01 is damaged, you might try physically bending that head back. I've had many cases (at least on 2.5" Toshibas) where I've physically bent a head back to avoid media damage. The drive clicks, rattles, and knocks in protest and takes a while to become ready but after creating a heads map all other heads image fine.
