Waiting for the prompt to come back did it! Thanks a TON guys! TWO 500GB drives recovered thanks to this thread!

After I issue the m0,2,2,0,0,0,0,22 I need to wait for a prompt?

As a follow up, I just realized my bios is detecting this drive as 0MB. LBA fix doesn't seem to be helping. I don't think it's the same as the LBA problem since I started out with the BSY problem, and created this 0MB problem after the fact.

I have two of these drives. I screwed up and used someones post here, which left out the REBOOT AFTER N1 step on the first one. For the second one I went back to page one and used those steps. Thanks! That drive is fine now. My question is about the first drive. The mis-step I took was issuing these two commands with no hdd reboot in between. N1 F3 1>m0,2,2,,,,,22 The disk now detects. I can see it in windows, but in disk management it shows up as an uninitialized drive. Is there anyway I can recover data from it now? What exactly did I do with the F3 1>m0,2,2,,,,,22? ANY help is appreciated!!!
