What do you mean "firmware corrupted" ?

Doesn't make sense, a HDD is not a cellphone!

What are symptoms of your problem?

Why don't you spend your money very wisely and take your drive to someone that knows what they are doing.

What exactly do you think the firmware update/reflash will fix?

What is this, like a 320GB? You don't say you need DATA but I am assuming you do else you probably wouldn't continue with such a small drive and just buy a replacement.

Do you understand that flashing firmware in a lot of cases can be destructive to your data? I urge you to be careful if it is data you need.

You should not assume you know the problem because there are many issues that can look almost the same to a regular user.

I don't think you have diagnosed the issue sufficiently yet.

ok look my problem is that when I want to enter the hard drive, I can not because the firmware is locked and can not do anything, the information I do not care because I have backup but I need the disc to use it and I've already tried all tools and none have worked for me, the proven the mhdd, zu tried the victoria, and has not worked, the disk is 320 gigabytes and is firmware DE04, what I want is to reflash to remove the blockage in I look at the bios I've kuy well indicates it is in perfect condition, but not serves me anything because I can not format it, thank you very much!

What does CrystalDiskInfo say about your drive?

Can you upload CrystalDiskInfo's text report?

yes i have some bad sector but the hard drive work good, the problem is the drive is LOCKED BY ATA PASSWORD, and i need the flash tool seagate "DE04" FOR REFLASH THE DRIVE AND QUIT THE SECURITY ON IS LEVEL HIGH, Someone can give me the firmware for flashing?? =)

i have this seagate hard drive since 2007, I LOVE THIS, AND I DONT WANT DELETE FROM MY COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!

Well you are in for a very sad time because at that age, there are many more things that can start to go wrong.

You seriously are attached to that hard disk this much?

You need a new one, it is as simple as that

Firstly, your hard drive doesn't "work good". It has bad sectors!

Secondly, a firmware "flash" will not remove ATA password.

As you've been told several times, just buy a new HDD.

You've come here for advise, you've been given it. Sorry you don't like the answers!

OK i know i need purchase to new hard drive but, if have one program for restore this?? or format in low level for hope to save bad cluster or sector?? for example DBAN??, IM run DBan in this drive but is very slowly , is more that 199 hours for ERASE entery HDD !!, is much time LOL

Let it go man, bury it in the backyard with a nice plaque alongside the Voodoo2 and remember the good times....

I suspect maybe he really does want data, nothing else makes sense..

uhmm im really not want the data, i have back up of my files, i want format the drive for use in other PC, Ok, for waths DBan is very slowly??¡¡

Yes, im use DBan in "Quick Zero" Command and he say is finish in 199 Hours, with one passed and 0 Rounds, LOL, DBan make 00.01% every 5 minutes, i think the erase could maybe regenerate or save some bad sector, but not have other via for config DBAn run more faster, maybe edit the DBAN.BZI with hexadecimal Program, for example ULTRAEDIT??

DBAN is a very great eraser, he can delete the ATA PASSWORD, he can delete ALL DATA IN THE DRIVE ,INCLUDE THE ROM.BIN IN THE FIRMWARE!!whem im run MHDD, He tell me this "THIS DRIVE IS LOCKED BY ATA PASSWORD" And security ON level HIGH ,im not put any password in my drive, i think some viruses can enable the security mode, one day im turn on my PC and is showed the drive is LOCKED!!

Please help me!!

DBAN does not erase the ROM. A secure erase can wipe a password protected drive if it knows the master password.
