Hi,
I got a 30GB Toshiba 2,5" Notebook HDD from a broken FujitsuSiemens Amilo Notebook. Unfortunately the HDD contains an HDD protection when used beyond this laptop. Since this laptop doesn't function any more I would like to use the HDD in another one.
Anyone got a hint for unlocking this drive, or a special tool for low leveling it?
Thanks very much!
KD

I'm sure Toshiba has a diagnostic tool for harddrives on it's website. Try that.

If the protection was done by a special tool you may get into trouble. Maybe the FujitsuSiemans support can help then!
