If it's seeking Cylinder 0 and then parking, I'd say that for some
reason the drive itself can't tell when it's at Cylinder 0, but
your guess is as good as mine as to why. First guess--the mechanical
sensor in the head-positioning assembly is out of alignment or other-
wise farkled. Since it's not working with any controller, I'd say it's
likely not the controller... :) (Good diagnostics, huh?) I'd also
suggest getting Raven to look at it (oh, Raveeeeen...), since after
all he does service the -deleted- things for a living...I'm not
all that "up" on diagnosing weird HD problems, particularly sight-
unseen.
