Questions for Sonatine re:Dell HDD

[sʇןɐs ɥʇɐq ɥsıʞɹnʇ]

Tine I am attempting to reclaim my hard drive from a Dell HPA and having some difficulties, will you please help me out?

My HDD is a Seagate ST3160812A5 160g reporting 149g when fully wiped via Dban autonuke or Hdparm security erase unit.

I have had no luck with Hdparm in setting real max sectors, I consistently get an I/O error despite the drive being unfrozen with master password set. I am now trying to work with Hdat2 and still having no luck.

What's odd is Hdat2 is reporting my bios to be 8.4gigs in size, that's impossible. My Device info on Hdat2 reads like so

Source-ATA LBA28 cyl 16383 head 16 sectors 63 total 268435455 =137.44gig (I presume this is because my main partition is a little smaller than normal, I've been messing around with my partitions for various reasons)

Source LBA48 cyl ----- head ----- sectors ----- total 312500000 = 160.00gig

Source CHS cyl 16383 head 16 sectors 63 total 16434495 = 8.46gig

Source INT13H/Bios cyl 1023 head 255 sectors 63 total 16434495 = 8.41gig

EXT INT13H cyl *16383 head *16 sectors *63 total 312500000 = 160gig

I would really like to reclaim my hard drive to 160g is this possible? I believe if anyone can do it, you can.

Lol. Bassatine ain't readin all that shit.

rofl not a chance mike what the fuck ?

It seems like the cloud of ammonia surrounding you may have degaussed the magnetic platter, Mike.

Without bath salts, no recovery is possible.

LOL SPEEDFREAKS. I read this and thought at first he was asking scooter fro computer advice and thought it must be the absolute pinnacle of skatz insanity....

Lol. Bassatine ain't readin all that shit.

Sure he did, it's not really that much info. He probably glanced at it and knew exactly what needs to be done and what tools to do it and just doesn't want to answer, which is fine. I know better than anyone the only person I can depend on is me, that's how I learn. How anyone learns if you think about it...

Me making a video for you would be very much like you making a bodybuilding training video for me- you wouldn't know the first thing to do in the gym and it's doubtful you'd ever send me anything knowing full well you are totally out of your comfort zone as bodybuilding has been my life (to varying degrees) since I was 14. You think I don't notice how in depth you analyze and critique literally every single show you watch on television? I notice, and I know my limitations and thus far nothing I could have sent you would have gotten anything but the following in response- "crap" "barely even tried" "lazy" "wants something for nothing, as usual" "fake" "forced" "what the fuck am I even watching??!" " rank amateur" and the list goes on.

I told you I needed help, it's your decision not to.

SBG:

You honestly believe Scooter is incompetent behind a keyboard? c'mon hosey...

ROFL. You think Scooter would be able to pick apart some absurdly complicated question about a specific HD ? Really Mikey... Thats why it is funny.. Scooter has admitted to not knowing shit about comptuers, but he apparently likes to read through any type of log file and attach himself to any possible debug warning/error he might see. Thats about it.... Just because people are smart doesn't mean they can do everything..

fuck I could really use your help Tine, I was fucking with my bios via HDAT2 and determined in 28 LBA my HDD reports 149g but in 48lba i would have 160g so I tried switching over and now my bios locked my hard drive with an unkown password. I got lucky and found an old PATA 6gig HDD and booted from it and am restoring (don't laugh) win98 (xp won't boot) and am very frustrated right now, don't know what to do> presumably I need to flash my bios but my winflash utility doesn't work and the dell bios flashing utility doesn't work, I tried using hdparm via parted magic via hirens and the blasted thing gives me an I/O error trying to set a master or user password

HELP!!!!!!

[anatine]

so?

Sonatine does computer security, he isn't some 40 year autistic geek squad guy. Why would you even think he could help you? Or anyone on here for that matter ? If you can't find the answer via google then no one here is going to know such obscure stuff that is pretty much the lowest rung of computer related jobs.


wait... or is this another plea for attention ?

The good news is hdparm fixed my issue hotplugging the drive. The bad news is you are going to die young and probably teeth clenched eyes shut atop a toilet in some backwater shithole one day and the legacy you will leave the world will be "Hands so chickeny" *IF* you are lucky penguin. Now buzz off and get back to letting your mind melt away into nothing like an obese housewife you rat, grown ass men are communicating here, and we don't speak penguin.

You are so fucking lazy it disgusts me. *NEWSFLASH* I treat the people who treat me well better than gold, the rest can drop dead for all I care. How do you think this impacts your chances of obtaining bath salts video bro? Learn to treat me right or don't, your actions determine if bath salts video falls into your hands and whether my talents are kept here or I will stay over at....well not pfa, if that was your thought. Trust me I have 8 toes out the door of these forums, your choice whether I keep a couple in the pool here or not.

oh and dave honestly I could give a fuck less about you, what you think, or why you feel you are important to the world. You're not, deal with it.

You didn't partition the disk correctly or create the file systems after wiping it.
