Sorry, I read the first disk wrong. It seems to be ok as is the second one, at least according to the SMART info.

Looks like the seagate has been powered on for 897 hours (converting the hexadecimal figure to decimal) and the second drive has been powered on for 18748 hours.

If the hard drive password is not the master one you could look that up online and follow this explanation using either MHDD on its own or as part of the Ultimate Boot Disk

Try a master password of "Seagat>" followed by 25 spaces.

Try "Seagat", followed by 9Bh plus 25 spaces (20h).

I Can't Understand What Did You Means ??

Can You Tell Me Step By Step Please ♥

Execute the following command (all on one line):



Make sure that you select the correct drive by replacing "/dev/ice" with the correct target.

Where I Can Put This Code ??

hdparm is a Linux command. There is a Windows version. You need to search for it and install it.

IMHO if you don't know why you get a "not recognised as an internal command" error, you shouldn't be messing with disks at this level

HHHHH No No I Swear I Know Why Get A "Not Recognised As An Internal Command" Error .... I Just Wanted To Be Sure ♥

But Any Way I'm So So Sorry Sir Because This is First Time I Will Try Repairing A Hard Disk So Absolutely I'm Not Have Any Background For This Domain

And I Can't Understand English Very Well To Search More Information

FYI, the default master pwd is
SeaGate.........................

dots and not spaces. 32 characters altogether.

I Found This Method It's Good Or Not ??

https://grok.lsu.edu/Article.aspx?articleid=16716

This Method Just For Hard Disk SSD !!!

I'm Try This Option ( --security-freeze ) But It's Failed




And I Try This Option ( --debug ) ... It Was Successfully




What Did Means This Option ( --debug ) ????

that page only said the method only works on SATA and PATA HDD and SSD.
So you have nothing to worry about.

I have no experience with hdparm, can't help with that, but it should be straightforward.
you don't have to set freeze lock, it is already locked, start erasing it using the default master pwd.
Btw, from ata specs:



It says if the security level is high you can unlock it with the master pwd.
Identify sector word 92 gives you the Master Password Revision Code, which should be FFFE if the Master pwd was not changed, ie it is the default string i sent above.
Identify sector word 128:

15-9 Reserved
8 Security level 0 = High, 1 = Maximum
7-6 Reserved
5 1 = Enhanced security erase supported
4 1 = Security count expired
3 1 = Security frozen
2 1 = Security locked
1 1 = Security enabled
0 1 = Security supported

so if bit 8 is 0, you have Security Level set to high, so it is possible to use the master pwd to open the device without erasing it. So open and disable pwd should be working.
if it is 1, you need to send Security Erase Prepare (0xF3) command followed by Security Erase Unit (0xF4) command with an 512byte data block containing 01 00 53 65 61 47 61 74 65 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E 2E
and the rest should be 00.

that hdparm says a note about 'the remaining ATA security commands were unavailable during build time', which probably means it is not implemented.
So you need some different way of opening it.

Thank You Sir Very Very Much For All Information That You Gave Me ♥♥♥ .... So What I can Do Now ??

To be honest i am not quite familiar with free tools, i only know mhdd can send those commands, check the docs here:
https://hddguru.com/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/mhdd_manual.en.html#id

there is also Magic boot disk available for download with MHDD 4.6 included, because you will have to boot to DOS.
