Recently, i came across a seagate Thin 500GB hdd which when connected with mobo shows the attached screen.

Friends, suggest ways to format/reinitialise the hdd for reuse, data not at all relevant.

Dear spildit,

Why are u worried so much?

It is only a hard disk of 500GB. Nothing more than that.

Stop worrying dear.

Who knows if disk is acquired legally or not. I have been given disks with all sorts on the.

lets give the OP the benefit of the doubt..

I assume the OP searched this forum for similar cases and came up with this thread:
http://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=29783
I knew I had seen it before, so adding it in case it is helpful (I didn't go read it).

you might be able to troll the wayback machine for wave's help & support pages:
https://web.archive.org/web/20130401061448/http://www.wave.com/support/self-encrypting-drive-tab-missing-access

not sure if this "wave embassy" stuff is the same as what you are dealing with:
http://forum.hddguru.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=35407&p=247817&hilit=wave#p247817

I remember some versions of Wave used TPM chip to send encrypted password to SED, but older versions probably not. I would be destroying the drive and forgetting about it, it has to be quite old anyways

why cant he just add the drive to a win10 machine for example, and:

>cmd
>diskpart
>list disk
>sel disk x (whatever the correct disk is)
>clean
> format.. etc etc
