Haha completely. Did every script, tried the one from 4 years back, and even combined different ones together to see what would happen. Either got a No DRQ error, got a 0kb empty 42.bin, or got a 1gb 42.bin with no info in it. I dont know if this helps, but its a 2.5" SATA drive. By the way, I appreciate the comments back on this, helpful or not.

Just tested on a WD1600BEVT, script from page 2 works fine.

Is it the one that has the cs.bin file?

Ok, this is how Im doing this.

I launch with a CD, then exit out so I can boot from a flash drive. I open up my hard drive and type ID to make sure everything is cool. After that, i type .md (my scripts name is md) and then it tries to run that script. When it gets to the cs.bin file, it says that it cant open it. Im doing the cs.bin file in notepad, so Im not sure if thats bad or not. Any clue why it cant open the cs.bin file?

Try using a hex editor to make it.

So, I did that and now it says "Drive reports error" when it gets past cs.bin. Now, I dont know what this means, but i have a question.

Can anything harmful be done to a locked drive through MHDD? Cause my girlfriend decided it would be a GREAT idea to go in to MHDD (not sure if she selected the drive or not) and type help to see all the commands, and proceed with typing them all in to see what they do.

26 17 1E 32 I guess is the password?
I tried entering this into MHDD is there a special way to enter hex digits? instead of asc?

Thanks
Mick

You can input FILES in Victoria for windows as password. I don't know if it will work but you can create a file with the hex editor with your password in HEX and try to use Victoria for windows with that file.

I actually just figured out a way to do it with MHDD.

If you convert the hex into decimal

You can then hold down the ALT-GR key, then on the numeric keypad type the decimal code (3 digits pad with 00s), and it will give you the asc character for that number

so the master password was:
14 24 16 17 2D 31 05 02 (hex)

which decimal is
20 36 22 23 45 49 5 2

so I held alt-gr and typed 020 036 022 023 045 049 005 002 (you need to release the alt-gr key after each 3 digits typed)

drive unlocked!

Thanks again guys

Mick

Ombladon, your master password in HEX is :

02 00 00 01 78 00 32 00 20 00 55 FF 00 01

You have to try to use is0-mick way to convert it to dec and imput using MHDD.

You would need to enter

(alt-Gr key pressed while typing each 3 digits, then release)
