First of all i would plug the drive to the system back again to discard any problem with the caddy / exteranl case.
With the drive connected to the system directly to the motherboard use winhex to write some 00000 to the first sectors of the drive and read them again to see if it did indeed wrote to he drive or not.
If not your drive have a physical problem and the best way for you to deal with it, as data is not needed, is to buy a new one.
Some drives can be locked on "read only" when it's internal firmware detects problems with the drive, as a measure of protecting itself from further damage.
But first MAKE SURE the problem is not with the CADDY.
Best regards.
Thank you for the fast reply Spildit.
I forgot to say that i did the swap to another laptop and tried all the programs named and more from my original post.
Result are the same even when the hdd is plugged to a motherboard directly.
I did some test with softwares like hddscan and many more but result are the drive is healthy as a horse.
That´s why i´m a little lost.
i´ll try zero writing to see if the problem still exist and will post the results.
p.s: i tried and trying erasing the drive as right now so zeroing is on the go. HDDscan is doing it but will try Winhex as suggested if i have the same results again.
