Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

My older sister asked me to take a look at her kid's laptop and see if I could fix it for Christmas. She told me that someone changed their password. When she had dropped it off for me to look at, it seems someone had put a password on both the hard drive and the BIOS. I successfully removed the BIOS password but am unable to do anything with the hard drive. I tried all the usual master passwords for WD Drives but they did nothing. The drive reports that the master pass is unchanged (0xFFFE). Security level is reported as High, ON.
The drive model is WD1200BEVS - 75LAT0 and is a replacement from what I'm guessing is an Xbox360. I do not know what data the hard drive contains and I really don't have either the money for a new HDD or for DR.
I've tried the 22.bin and 42.bin scripts for MHDD but 42.bin says NODRQ (I knew it wouldn't work, but no harm in trying, I suppose) and 22.bin says "cannot find CS.bin" or something similar to that.
If you need more info, just ask.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Josh
