Bennor - It was not the unbricking that killed my drive. It was a a power outage in my town that occurred during the process while the drive was executing a command. Better minds have tried to save the old drive, but with no success. couldn’t even dd an image file onto the drive.
I’ll try the unbricking process you indicated, but I don’t know my firmware version. Should I try the method using ubuntu and the v3.04.01-230 or try this method?
PJPfeiffer - I’ll look into SpinWrite. If it will let me make my old drive usable, that would be great. There’s no data on it that I need, so I have nothing to lose. Thanks!
