WD 1.5TB Internal Locked Drive

Hello members, Western Digital WD Green WD15EARS 1.5TB 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive. Yesterday i reinstall my Win7 and when i restart pc after installation i see in BIOS that my second drive( WD15EARS ) changed its status to LOCKED DISK, i have never locked this driver!!! i tried everything that i read over the internet but nothing helps. Now i;m not able to open or manage it. Is there any app for unlocking such king of drives?

Thanks in advance

Hello, welcome to the WD Community. None of the internal WD drives support the option to be locked at the Firmware level, this is probably a feature from your motherboard BIOS. 

Thanks you, i will try to format the disk on another Motherboard and write what is the result :slight_smile:
