Hi there!
So its been a week and a half, and no progress on unlocking my Hitachi ATA HDD.
Searched a lot, done a lot things to this drive, but nothing seems to work.
First, I tried ZU, tried with multiple PC-s (about 5-6 computer) but not works. I need the data on this HDD, so I cannot format it or erase it.
I tried to connect this drive to my motherboard with IDE (btw its a 2.5 ide hdd, so it needed a cable to 3.5), and tried unlocking it with ZU, but not works. After that, I tried as a SATA drive, with cable, not works. I have correct BIOS settings, ATA set to Compatible mode, and drive is on secondary master. MHDD says its locked, high pwd, not maximum.
Can you guys help me with this, please? Im really dissapointed that I could not unlock this...One thing that I didnt try is Hiren boot cd.
I've attached some photos:
This is ZU with all commands tried already. I dont understand why it says "Now you can screw it in...press when ready"
