Hitachi ATA password

[Moltke]

How this happens? When zu tells you "POWER OFF / ON AND EXECUTE ZU AGAIN" you re-power your drive with the PCB on, run the same command, but instead of "UNLOCK DONE" it tells you the same "POWER OFF / ON AND EXECUTE ZU AGAIN" message again.

All is true. It should be
Edits to nvram. A message ("POWER OFF / ON AND EXECUTE ZU AGAIN") is displayed. Need a restart
Spin up, calculates S/ON (and does not work on tables),edit security, edit nvram.
Again displays a message and again needs to restart.
In 2013 I did not know how to perform a restart drive without turning off the power of the drive

Is there any progress on it?

no. I will do when there is a desire and time.

What version do you use?

And it was not the first time zu did this - I have a bunch of Hitachi drives that zu has made a paperweight of.

Just do not use it.

What version do you use?

August 2, 2013. Is there a newer version out?

A message ("POWER OFF / ON AND EXECUTE ZU AGAIN") is displayed. Need a restart
Spin up, calculates S/ON (and does not work on tables),edit security, edit nvram.
Again displays a message and again needs to restart.

You need to restart twice and after each restart execute zu?
Does it make any difference if the model number ends with L9SA60 or L9SA00 ?

Hi everyone,

Is Moltke still around ? I want to report dat Zu_beta_fix_2013 is also not working with HTS7250505A7E630.

if I do zu /p. it says IBM/ARM not supported.

if I do zo /p8 it says : Model HTS7250505A7E630 is not supported.

[riroma8590]

HTS7250505A7E630 should be HTS725050A7E630.

[riroma8590]

maybe offtopic but still good to know: Is Moltke still active, I read on some forums that he was banned/left by him self. And in some older posts there is Mr Zhong, that he was an expert on Zu. And he was banned. What is the story ? and contacting whom would give higher chance of an answer ?
