Western Digital - ABRT on all sectors

[jag17]

I have a western digital WD2500BJKT-75F4T0 2.5" SATA

The user wanted to upgrade his hard disk. So he took the hard disk out of the laptop. He put the new hard disk and then tried copying data from the old disk by putting it to an usb casing.

The old hard disk is getting detected in the device manager and in the disk mgmt showing as unallocated space.

When connected to DDI all sector returns ABRT error

Please help.

Cheers

encrypted/pw locked

My vote is for locked. Usually encrypted drives simply show garbled information. Of course, it could be both encrypted and locked.

Yes Luke, agree, I didn't mean regular encryption - just too lazy to type more..

DDI tells you if its locked, have another look. Also, check the way it is identified, failed drives can still identify themselves to the BIOS/Computer in certain scenarios but give ABRT on every attempt to access data.
