I recently bought a BD570 Bluray player. It said that it could read NTFS hard drives through the USB 2.0 port on the FRONT of the system, so I plugged in my 1TB Iomega external hard drive, and it wasn't detected. So, I took it back to my computer, and now it won't even be detected. The drive is uninitialized, and when I try to initialize it in drive manager, it says: "Error: cyclic redundancy check." So, I thought it might be the controller in the external hard drive enclosure. I took the hard drive out of the enclosure and put in an empty hard drive bay in my computer. The system booted up fine, but now it says the hard drive is locked! I have NEVER even attempted to lock the hard drive, and I can verify that it was working SECONDS before I hooked it up to the Blu-ray player. The Western Digital Recovery tool I downloaded will not see the hard drive, and I have tried every possible password I can think of.
Is there a UTILITY to completely clear a hard drive? Or at least get rid of the password? I just don't know what there is left to do.is this underlies you are talking about? And you were telling us that after you plug it into your computer another USB device stopped working. Is that right?

it would appear to be most likely a coincidence. However, there is another explanation. But rather than offer speculation and CONJECTURE, I would strongly recommend you try to exercise the war and he's available on those devices. If you truly believe that one device caused the failure of the other, unique to make your thoughts clear to the manufactures.

Yes, just one individual can make a difference. If you can write down your ideas and put them in a nice well organized letter and mail it to both the maker of your external hard drive and to the maker of the external Blu-Ray player, it just possibly might influence somebody for the good.

on the other hand, if nobody ever made an attempt to contact the vendors and the manufacturers about failures of their equipment, they would never do anything because they don't know anything happened.

And yes, I believe it is possible for one external device to destroy another external device. But this is very difficult to prove without some very sophisticated laboratory with the. Which I don't have, and I assume you don't have either. But the manufacturers to have that kind of equipment. So you have to bring it to their attention.


I called LG (The player's manufacturer) and they said that they would try what I said and see if it produced an error. They also mentioned that they have never heard of this problem before. Great, lucky me.Quote from: Geek-9pm on June 14, 2010, 03:00:48 PM
