Ok, my friend works for Dish Network and he pulled a Hard Drive out of a Dish Network HD-DVR and gave it to me. It is a Western Digital WD3200JS Sata Hard Drive. I believe it is 320 GB.
I do not have Dish Network or a HD-DVR. What I would like to do with this drive is format it to use with my computer. But I cannot get Windows to recognize it, nor can I can get the Western Digital tools to do anything with it. My BIOS recognizes the drive as 0 MB when it is booting...
I believe the drive it locked to the motherboard of the DVR. Is there any way I can fix this and use the drive as a regular drive in my computer??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
