Hello!
My hard drive “maxtor diamond plus 9 80Gb 8Mb cache model 6Y080P0 code (firmware) YAR41BW0” is broken.
Let me explain how this happends:
While I played a game, my computer was restarted and gave me a message “missing *.dll can not boot”. I downloaded this *.dll file, but unfortunately didn`t check for what version of Windows XP it is compiled. After that computer gaves me the same message again. I didn`t want to re-install windows, and decide to use recovery console from the installation CD of Windows. It was my biggest mistake. After command “fix mbr” (fix master boot record), my hard drive started to make some strange noises, seems it was unable to rotate cylinders. I guess, that stupid ‘recovery console’ decided to overwrite system information of 64 sector, and after restart my BIOS didn`t find hard drive, except of the moments that it founds it like “Maxtor Calypso”. After a long searching in internet, I realized that this mistake appear eighter when firmware (and/or initial data) are missing.
So, my question: is there a program, similar to “PC 3000”, which I can use to rewrite my firmware. In fact, “PC 3000” doesn`t support my hard drive model.
I suppose, with program like this, I can rewrite my firmware, which will recover my hard drive, and even data saved on it.
If it is possible, could you send me some similar program, that supports my model of hard drive (model 6Y080P0 code (firmware) YAR41BW0) to my e-mail: petkojankov@abv.bg or link.
Thank you in advance!!

You did do a google for maxtor AND firmware didn't you? I found firmware for the 6Y080M0, as far as I know the only difference between that an the 6Y080P0 is that one is OEM and the other retail.
