Hi,
I'm having a little problem with my hard drive. I was attempting an ATA Secure Erase through the terminal on Linux Mint 11. I managed to enable security password and issue the ATA Secure Erase command when my laptop battery died. When I switched my laptop on again it asked me for to "Enter HDD User Password". The password I set does not work. I've tried going into BIOS but I can't change it from there. I've also tried putting the hard drive into my external hard drive case but my other laptop won't recognize it.
Is there anything I can do to make this hard drive useable again?
Thanks.
