That script won't work for that drive family. You have to adapt it for U9 (that is, find the correct sa track and sector, and modify the buffers).

[wotan]

How can i find the correct sa track and sector? And how can i modify it? I'm a newbie about this!

Yeah, this is very sensitive information, I'm afraid nobody will teach HDD unlocking for free...
But there are many firms ready to recover your drive once U have a proof of ownership.

Pepe is correct on this one. You can try and find a DR company in your area and take proof of ownership of your drive to them and they can unlock this drive for a small fee. You should know due to the high volume of stolen laptop and computers you will need to prove that this is really your drive and they will unlock it for you.

HDD's are from old satellite-receivers that were sold with larger HDD's. I'm here about 30 pieces, so now I can throw them away

Hi,
I was about to build a serial interface (max232) but this seems useless ... since those codes are not generic ...

Have you tested other methods ?

[wotan]

hi rzr,

which other methods?
i try with serial interface (max232) and hyperterminal. atapwd and mhdd with divers master-passwords

what about fw update like said at
need-firmware-t7623.html#p94811

what are drivers mater passwd ? S....*25spaces ?

[wotan]

hi rzr,

give me a fw-update file and i'm feel lucky!

[youngmiki13]

I am interested in this. How did it go?

[rzr]

Well those fw are pretty hard to find, is there a list of released fw by segate , and where to find them ? then we'll can try to compare them etc ...

I think I have figured out SA for "ALPINE - 1_Disk M.14 01-16-03 11:51" , now I must undersand where "2>S006b" is it coming from ...
