| Post subject: | HDD Unknown - 0 Kb |
Dear Forum Users, I have a 500GB Hitachi HD that is not recognized by any OS I have, my last hope is Linux, I made 3 Live CD with versions of Backtrack 5, Ubuntu and Big Linux. When I insert the HD and use GParted in all distributions it finds no hard drive connected. If I go into the hardware settings I see my HD but it appears as if the capacity was 0 Kb but it has 500 Gb. I'm trying trought gparted (doesn't list the drive) and fdisk (doesn't list the drive), in Windows I had tried replace the MBR info (error), EASEUS Partition Manager is the unique program that can list the drive, but show the error I/O. When I plug in Sagemcom Device and format, then i put it back in my desktop just show me the samething. If I flash a new firmware I can restore this HD? And if I make a ZeroFill? Please help me out. Sincerely, Barros |

From all you are saying this one will not work. Spildit is right bin the drvie you will not fix it the way you are going now. This drive needs professional tools to fix the issues on this one. You can not flash it like Spildit said because like he said it is not a cell phone. Important Data = professional recovery Non Important Data = bin drive Considering you tried to format it looks like non important data so looks like Bin the HDD and get a new one and go on. Try to look at MHDD and see what happens. But considering the BIOS will not see this one then you can not use this program. This is DOS based prorgam and BIOS has to see the drive to run it. |

If you need the data inside the drive you will have to take it to a data recovery center. The only thing that you can try is remove the drive from the external enclosure(usb box) (assuming its an external drive) and try to connect directly to the sata port of the computer. I don't care about the data, have any tutorial to tech how to bin it or rma? It's a internal HDD notebook. |

Then if it is there is a place on there that will tell you what to do to send it in for RMA. If no go to the website for the drive and enter the S/N of this one and see if it is under warrenty. If so follow what they tell you to do on this one to send it in for RMA. |
