nice try- but you cannot write or read data on locked hard drive.

You need to get the master password somehow or crack it using equipment, software. If you in the UK i can do it cheap for you.

Good luck

You said :

"i found another drive to read the stuff (st380815as 8mb cache instead of 2mb st380215as) now the stuff is ok but is still locked"

And you expect it will work beside the "ATA LOCK" problem ? At least you must borrow the STUFF from identical drive

(Also : never read G. Verga ? "la roba" = "the stuff" - ok, it's absolutely difficult for non-Italians)
