RE: Word of Warning about Hard Drives
Maybe someone can help me out with this. I just got a 1tb hdd that someone left behind, i used the bridge from my 2 tb that just crashed recently to hook it up to my laptop with a usb and it works fine, looks like it was an internal hdd with an os on it. I tried to format it but couldn't because the files are are read only/write protected.
Now I'm assuming that the best thing would to wipe it and then format it but what do you guys suggest. I took a look at DBAN but it says it will wipe any and all drives detected and thats not what I'm looking for. Whats the easiest way to go about this so I can put it in the casing from the 2tb and use it as an external?
