Anyone have any firmware for the Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 that will work for FW version 3.AAD? I locked my HD... (actaully this idiotic feature on the drive locked it without me knowing) and I can't install linux.

Thanks.

is there any nice physical data recovery softwares?

pls let me know. thanks!

With the exception of building your own terminal adapter, learning the Seagate commands, a lot of frustration and the chances of completely destroying the drive, other solutions will cost a lot of money...in the thousands of dollars. If the data is what you are after, get the drive assessed by a professional. If it is just a matter of salvaging the drive, buy a new one or try for an RMA.

If you are looking for a recommendation for someone in your area, I'd say Doomer is your best bet.
