Locked Laptop Hard Disk Drive Recovery Service
Some laptops provide a utility to lock a hard disk with a password. These passwords are not the same as BIOS passwords. Moving a locked hard disk to another machine will not unlock it, since the hard disk password is stored in the hard disk firmware and moves with the hard disk. Also, adding a new (unlocked) hard disk to a locked machine may cause the new hard disk to become locked. Also, note that hard disk lock passwords cannot be removed by reformatting the disk, fdisk or any other software procedure (since the disk will not allow and reads or writes to the disk, it cannot be reformatted.)
You can test to determine if your hard disk is locked by attempting to access it in another laptop.
You can purchase an unlock service for most models of Fujitsu, Toshiba, Western Digital, Maxtor, Seagate and Samsung laptop drives.
The service costs $100/drive.
