The drive itself will be hardware-encrypted, so unless you have contacts with a data recovery specialist then it’s sadly a lost cause…

Yeah I figured that would the the case, the stuff on it isn’t extremely important and I can get it back it will just take a lot of downloading…  Oh well I guess I’ll try a few more things and then give in and buy a new one. Thanks for the help!
