I have a WD 320GB HDD
Model: WD3200BEVT - 00A23T0

It was modified by a software called hddhacker in order to work on XBOX 360
During the process a file called UNDO.BIN is generated so I can be able to restore my drive. After a while I wanted to restore the HDD to use it on my pc, but I lost the UNDO.BIN file so I used another fil wich was for the 320GB BEVT series but a different model so it bricked my drive.

If I open it through a Hex editor it appears blank and in EaseUS partition master is seen as unsupported disk.

How can I fix this drive?

No, like you have already been told.

Of course there is (pro) equipment (costing $1,000's) that can do this, with the right "driver" but the cost for doing this would be WAY more then a new hdd, and is meant for data recovery not drive "repair"

Like Spildit says, just buy a new one, they're cheap enough.

You can buy something like Salvation data WD doctor ($500 USD) and some drives to practice, and learn how to use the tool and manage to get some firmware for your drive and fix the damage modules (incorrectly "updated" by the hddhacker tool) but requires knowledge and time and practice. A drive is way cheaper than that ....


@spildit, do you really own the SD doctor ? You should know that.... etc.etc. etc. :(
