I KNOW the damage is done.

NEVER attempt to load a pack if you haven't inspected it AND the heads first.

Was this combination ever known to work?

You now need to throw that pack out, and thoroughly inspect and clean the heads
and any pack to attempt to use in the future.

You also need to inspect the filter, purge the air filtration system if you haven't done that already
along with cleaning the filtered air path in the drive
and run the spindle for a while before attempting to load the heads again.

The only thing that comes to mind is the servo system is going to be extremely
confused with the embedded servo information coming in the reverse direction.
