Hello,

After deleting all partitions I received a security-lock on a 80GB IDE Seagate-HDD.

This harddrive was only used for backups. As a last action I performed a backup from a 2.5" Acer Notebook hdd in 1:1 clone-mode. However, I repared the NB, copied the saved data back and deleted all partitions exept a undeletable 1.9 GB partition. So far, I used a hdd-wipe-tool and cleared the hdd. Until now the drive was security locked.

I'm looking for the master-PW (SEAGATE, SEQGQTE etc.) but these PW didn't work.
Does anybody know a tool for updating the firmware or maybe a tip to unlock the drive (there are no data on the drive!)?

Thanks for your answers,
Werner

nothing will help you out the only people who can is seagate
they added security locks to most of there products
which suck

I can fix the drive and recertify it eventually.
