Hi Guys, Do you have any idea how can I remove ATA password from a HITACHI HTS424040M9AT00. I have PC3K, ISA and PCI versions but either supports this model for password removal. I appreciate Any hint or advise. |

PC3000 PCI 2.27 has this model in the list. To unlock you have to disconnect PCB from HDA, set safe mode, read NVRAM, change byte 9 to 0x00, write NVRAM back. Then connect PCB back to drive, enter the utility and rewrite module ISEC. After that write back original NVRAM and that's it. |

Hi Starling, Thank you very much for the procedure. You have mentioned that I have to write back the module ISEC, I did not find such module in the modules list. Did you mean module ICES? If you have this module in your data base may I have a copy? I do not have donor drive in the stock right now. I already have changed the byte 9 of NV-RAM from 01 to 00 and wrote back to the PCB in safe mode. regards Pninja |

You can read original clean ICES module from Factory copy and write it to Copy0. |
