Hello and thanx in advance for all of you who bothered to read my post and replayed 
So, i'm having trouble with 5 Hitachi HTS541680J9SA00 laptop drives. The problem is that the drives are locked by their firmware. They appear in bios and in windows only if u use a HDD management program. I've dealt with this issue with other drives form WD, Samsung and Seagate and i know how and what tools to use to format the drives and change their firmware. But Hitachi is an uncharted teritory. If anyone has any clues as to what can i do .... i'm all ears.
