Im not 100% on what happened here, so i'll just lay it out.

This 7200.9 was used in a contest to see who could recover data from a drive that was zero'd and had badblocks run on it. Safe to say, nothing was recovered. There was an attempt made to dump the individual sectors over the serial UART for analysis and in doing so it disappeared from the ATA bus. Im out of my league to be honest here, it's not a Linux/Unix or VxWorks powered embedded machine. So far ive cleared SMART, cleared the glist. and that's as far as i got. still doesn't show up. Here is the output of the, eh, POST(?)

Well if it is a 80GB drive, old, and used in a contest to prove or disprove something, where a couple of people will have done many things to the drive, it is hard to know what may have happened to it.

You could maybe try to "rebuild" it, running some kind of selfscan and restoring the backup of SA that you surely made before the testing.

Other than that, just bin the drive and get another one to continue with the experiences, this size of drives is cheap in ebay/craigslist.
