WD3200BPVT-22z sata drive has hdd password set on gateway laptop
after trynig to figure out how to finally get scripts into the script directory and get a working image
mhdd gives me “error: no drq” when running any of the scripts (.dump,.dump2,etc..)
trying to use zu.exe doesnt work after a few hours , put it in a pentium 4 machine also no go

even tried victoria hdd tool on hirens to unlock

Ask the owner for the password.

Thanks Captain Obvious.

If you can prove ownership? just take or send it to a DR Pro who has the tools & knowledge to do this for a fee.
is the data important? if not & you want to try DIY then you will need to do a lot of researching.
Members on this forum cannot prove you are the owner of the hdd drive & helping you to bypass the password could end them in a lot of trouble if the drive turns out to be stolen. Please note I am not saying that it is so no offence is meant.

I should have mentioned in first post , this is not my computer, I do pc repair and it is for a customer of mine. I'd just assume pull the drive and install a new one and reinstall windows, I figured Id help the guy not incur the cost of doing so.

if data is not significant, exchange drive and reinstal o.s.
because as said here we can not verify owner
good look
