seagate 250 GB SATA write-protected problem
hello guys,
yesterday my brother gave me a desktop computer
Here is the SPEC:
HP Compaq dc7800
Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 2.66GHZ
2 GB ram "Dual channel 1 GB each”
250 GB Seagate barracuda 7200 SATA
no graphics card yet “will buy one soon"
------
i tried to install windows 7 because there was no system on HD "New HD" even when i start-up the computer, it told me new device configuration "Seagate 250 GB"
Anyway, the installation stuck at expanding windows files 0 %
I tried to use USB instead of DVD but it stuck at first screen "windows is loading files"
Also tried to install XP but in installation it gives me blue screen and told me to do CHKDSK /F
------
When I do CHKDSK /F from windows 7 DVD repair ... it gives me error
This disk is write protected!!
i searched the internet looking for solution but no luck
Tried to use diskpart tutorial...
Change setting in bios... even updated the bios
Install HD on other computer... i can transfare files to the HD with no problems
But none works
------
Now I’m totally lost what should I do??
and if i may ask, does these Hard-Drives have jumper because mine don't
