Basically, it is possible
However
1 At us such drives are practically absent, so not very important
2 Not always 802E module contains the needed data, it is very desirable that it be checked by man at first
But if it is be wanted, I will add

I waiting for English version

English version relased

Hi,

As for introduce - Im from Poland

Id like to know how to unlock those wd320budt HDD drives. Ive one from my sagemcom decoder and Id like to swap it with my 120GB laptop HDD. Ive read all those 58 pages and Im stuck at page 55. S/A operatuins > modules operations (fw turned off). In my case nothing is there. <hlp in eng needed>

error: disk_ecu_unsafe_error
Cheers,
Peter

Can someone help me to unlock WD5000AVDS? I tried with zu.exe and z!.exe but it only shows only "ELAPSED 00:01.. 00:02... 00:03" and nothing happens. When I press enter, it shows "UNLOCK NOT DONE".

The drive is from tv recorder.

I suppose nobody will help me for free.. I can pay some $

PS: I did some attempts with MHDD and HDAT2 but no success, maybe I did it wrong.

PS2: Interesting thing: I run HDD Unlock Wizard, it detects the harddrive, it does some diagnostic, and says that the harddrive can be unlocked and I have to buy some unlock code.. BUT after this, I can initiate the drive in Control Panel and normally use the drive in windows! Full size.
After PC restart, it's locked again.

After using old version of ZU (from 2009) on another PC, I get this error: "ERR:51E0EB14010104 CMD:0000000000E0EC NO DRQ!"

Hello all I coming here with new strange problem

Description of the problem Drive won't spin up in PC/BIOS/Windows. Drive only spin up in Echostar DVR-7400 HD and in PC with running Linux Parted Magic (only read standard informations about drive) (we can't write/read/create files/partition)

Now part with WDMarvel
WD Marvel Safe Mode Beta 4 (yes I'm still using Beta4): 1. Launch Windows 2. Start WDMarv 3.Plug the drive and detect:

Then
I did hotswap. Plug SATA/Power in DVR then unplug SATA and plug SATA from computer/Windows.
And sucess:



Then I did "Restart FW" and drive again won't spin up.

Finally I readed modules and Flash. Download:
Modules: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/849 ... odules.rar
Flash (PZU): https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/849 ... vs/PZU.rar

02 and 802E are different.
What I should do first ? Remove password ? Flash other FW ? Replace 02 with 802E ?

ps. please move thread to correct forum.

You are wrong. I can connect power to HDD from DVR (without SATA) and drive won't spinn up. Drive spin up only in DVR and PC with running linux with SATA cable.

ps. I will try use your tools.

After launch this tool, drive spinned up.
Then I did PC reset and again drive won't spinn up.

Then, remove password, create new partition and HDD work.
