Hi All, I'm having the same issue MeatballX was having on a very similar drive (WD2500BEVS). When the script gets to the CS.bin part I simply get "Drive reports error". I created the CS.bin file by using a linux box to write null data to a CS.bin file. Currently the file size is 0bits/bytes/etc...
Is there a specific way the file need be created?

Sorry for the multiple posts, but I've got my 22.bin file and I'm not sure how to read it. I thought the selected bit was my password, but it doesn't work as either master or user.

Can I get a little help?

Having spent far too many hours trying to work out where the password is hiding in my WD1600BEVT-75ZCT2 , could someone please look at my 22.bin and tell me what it is ? I have tried all groups of numbers (but obviously not in the right combination) but cannot suss it. How do i know exactly which are the right ones ?

I guess your user password is marked by red box and your master password is marked by green box. I unlocked my hard drive (Western Digital WD3200BEVE) by this way.

You was right about the user password. I had the password right a long time ago but was trying to disable the password before i'd unlocked it lol

All done now :-)
