WD3200AAJS 320GB HD not recognized until accessed from DOS

I tried everything I could to disable PUIS on the hard drive but was unsuccessful.

I downloaded HDPARM and turn_off_poweron_in_standby by HDPARM and every time

I try to set the PUIS to disabled it returns a failed error.

The article you linked to about no spinning up (flash bug), may also apply to me.

I am just glad I didn’t brick it!

If there are any more suggestions, I will be willing to try it.
