HDD password enabled!

Goods as always delivered quickly and well packed. It was a warehouse Deal (Condition: Used - Like New), but can also bring with it insurmountable obstacles. The hard drive was connected by me as a USB hard drive, and then using Acronis to create a clone. To this end, Acronis will reboot and then produced with inactive Partition a copy of the old disk. Acronis announced then unfortunately that is no access to sector 0 is possible. After rebooting, I then the hard disk on the Disk Management of Windows tries to initialize 8.1. There was then the message CRC - error. In conclusion, I then installed the Seagate ST500LM000 in my notebook and at boot time then a hard disk password was queried. In bios then you could see it also. Since the password is not known and no master password has been accepted, I had to pack up the hard drive and send it back.

Addendum:
Meanwhile, I have ordered a new hard drive and receive. My data could be copied easily with Acronis True Image 2014. The Seagate SSHD is running faster than the old notebook drive and fulfills its mission satisfactorily, but a replacement for an SSD, it is not. I can recommend the board until now. It solves my performance problems "waking up" from hibernation.
