Seagate ST1000LM035 - from USB enclosure

December 20th, 2016, 9:51

Hello!

I am working on a 1TB Seagate USB drive. Within the enclosure is the Seagate Mobile HDD 1TB, model ST1000LM035. It came to me with broken heads. This model doesn't appear to be supported by PC3000, even with the latest version it just defaults to F3 Arch (common). Therefore, I can't really interact with it the way I need to.

I performed a platter swap to a perfect donor, and everything worked fine. I was able to image 60% (over 1 billion sectors) of the drive before it head crashed. I'm now working with my image, but I can't get it to detect on any computer. The customer told me it was encrypted with whatever default utility came on the drive, which she gave me the password. But its not even getting that far. When I plug the cloned drive into my machine, it detects the USB device but nothing else happens. No password box pop, no drive letter, no nothing. I examined the drive with forensics tools (EnCase) and can see all of the encrypted data just fine.

Is there something I can use to force decrypt this image? Does anyone know anything about the default encryption platform Seagate uses on these new external USB drives?

Thanks!

You're wrong...It is a native Seagate drive but it have a "new" feature present at almost all new Seagate drives: it's encrypted.
