i switched to IDE while Flashing. im not sure what else to change.
i also tried on my laptop but it wouldnt run HDDHACKR for what ever reason (i think its because of the linux dual boot removing the windows bootloader)
anyone figure out the issue with WD5000LPVX-08V0T ? im so upset that i cant get it to work. ive done everything from using HDDHACKR to flash the .bin and creating the partition to undoing everything and using the disc diagnostic to test and write zeros to the disk. and manually flashing the bin...
