SAMSUNG SP1654N after Zero-Fill HDD won't work

[ergo911]

Hey

I filled my hdd with zeros, it hanged... i restarted my pc
and my hdd is now dead
No known utility won't work... it shows my drive in bios and utilites,
mark & s/n are all ok, but i can't make any patritions and if i scan for errors
then all sectors are BAD

IS my drive realy dead or something can make it useble again?

Thax

A real silly question, forgive me if it's too obvious. Was this your boot drive?

If not, can you try again filling with zeros?

[ergo911]

it can't fill with zeros anymore... only what this drive does
is low level format with samsung utility... and in the end it gives a
error... if i run seatools or any utility for check errors, then all sectors are BAD...

Like the heads are damaged... or i don't no what anymore

Drive Fitness Test say's:

Hi What Utility did You Use .

initially

Hi

I used Active KillDisk Free Edition v4.1 on the ubcd.
It hanged and after that i can't do anything with my disk.
No known utility won't work

Try Active Killdisk again Cos it Might Be Password Protecting the HDD Before Doing Zerofilling ,

i just used samsung sutil's and it say's DRQ timeout, when i wanted to to Entire_erase???

[ergo911]

mhdd says it is password prodected, but can not remove
but i found a programm called a-ff repair station, it say's it is
prodected with password and it can be removed with this programm, but it costs

[sadiq005]

Hi try this program in dos ATAPWD 1.2
Hard Disk Password Utility you can remove the password.i hope it gets resolved.

A cheaper alternative to A-FF Repair Station would be HDD Unlock Wizard: http://hddunlock.com
