Why was the drive locked?

I'm not sure if it was locked prior to obtaining the server it came from or if I did it inadvertently when I was working on the server.

i was wondering if it was lock by the sever software and if so whether any software other then that used by the server could unlock it

Nov 30th, 2013 at 7:51:57 PM PST by

As far as I know, The only software that will unlock it is the "the A FF HDD Unlock Wizard" software. The server failed so unlocking with the server isn't an option.

can't you boot and nuke the drive itself.?

Dec 2nd, 2013 at 3:16:57 PM PST by

Yeah I tried on a second drive, it didn't work. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what.

Dec 2nd, 2013 at 5:10:32 PM PST by

so what about just formating the drive?

Dec 2nd, 2013 at 7:27:12 PM PST by

like it says in the description, as far as I know the only thing that will work is the hard drive unlock wizard.

I wont need that because I will be puting an os on the hdd and with windows 7 installs, they give you to format any hdd. I once had a locked hard drive and I just unlcoked it by formatting in the Windows installation

If it works, go for it. I have too much work to do to worry about a locked drive. lol.

Have you tried to format it. This will strip the drive of anything on it, Then all that needs to be done is turn it on. And add the operating system for the computer that it is going to be used in!

Standard formatting does not work.

Dec 4th, 2013 at 11:39:55 AM PST by

Dec 5th, 2013 at 9:55:54 PM PST by

It was an HP server of some kind, I don't recall which.
