    Locked Seagate Disk Harddrive, Attempted to Use video, didn't work.

    So the following video got me a bit closer to what I was attempting to do right now. See I'm trying to recycle this old laptop hard drive a friend gave me, but for some strange reason the [expletive] decided for some reason long ago, that his data was so worth the protective need that he had decided to data lock the hard drive through the dell bios, and since then, he's not only forgotten the password, but it is fully rejecting any sort of alternative methods of accessing the internal drive. I've tried from DBAN to CMD, but neither have been able to bypass the lock on the drive itself; and I'm not even trying to access the encrypted information. I'm just trying to reset the Seagate hard drive to it's original manner. Now I've been searching through the interwebs about this since last Thursday, and so far I haven't found anything useful. I'm just stuck at this point with ZU.exe simply stating that: "unlock not done . . ." despite my close attention to the instructions. I've also been looking for a copy of "HDD Unlock Wizard 4.2" since the original webpage closed down supposedly in June 1st of 2017.

    I'm just about ready to drill into the little hard drive with a diamond tipped drill bit down the center *Mad, so I'm here wondering if anyone might have a solution to the problem?

    Best gaming harddrive Sugestion ???

    Seagate states on their 750gb,32mb cache harddrive that the best application is video surveillance.(liquor stores,how very sad and completly overpriced for the amount of problems they have).Yet Passmark lists this near the top of their harddrive page.Any one have a suggestion for something that will last.(maybe samsung???)
    Also I was considering a Raidmax hybrid 2 sli 630w powersupply.Any thoughts on Raidmax??

    windows 10 install from iso image harddrive locked

    Having problems with a business windows 7 pro machine that was upgraded online to windows 10. The Upgrade went ok but there was problems with the print spooler so I thought after much troubleshooting that I could reinstall from an iso image disk made
    off the windows upgrade site. Disk boots fine and comes to a screen giving me multiple options, one of which is to refresh the operating system. However when I try to refresh the installation it says that the harddrive is locked. But bitl;ocker is
    not being used or any other software that would lock the harddrive    . Any suggestions on how to unlock the harddrive and make windows 10 install work?

    harddrive error testing software

    Well so far in the past two days I've had 3 lock ups followed by an error saying "a disk read error occurred"

    I need some type of software to test my harddrive and make sure it's ok.
