maybe you could try making an inductor around the whole harddrive...
but you will need many many turns...

Hi,

first try a good drive to make sure U are connecting things correctly.
make sure the drive is jumpered as master.
If the patient drive is indeed locked and doesn't have other defect, it should be identified OK, and U should see a 'HPA lamp' on the top of the screen.
As I saw the master PWD is set to 32 spaces, so if the security level is high, U should be able to do security erase if the master PWD hasn't been changed.

regards,
pepe

Hi wawalab,

I understand that a master password should allow to unlock HDD, without any data lost (if security level is "high"), but I don't understand what does "hot swap" mean?

Could you give more information or simply specify a link where I could find it?

thanks
