Ownership of a hard drive

    Hi folks,

    I've removed a 1TB SATA Seagate drive from a Netgear Stora NAS device (piece of crap. Hated the web browser interface :( ).

    Anyway, I'm selling the 1TB drive on adverts. I hooked it up to my pc here and ran killdisk in order to sanitise it. Hooked it up via sata cable, it showed up, drivers installed. Killdisk was able to see it and it ran for almost 20 hours sanitising it.

    However, I just tried to access the disk via my computer and it says the drive is not accessible. Under security in properties it says you do not have permission to view or edit this object's permission settings.

    I've tried to edit the ownership but it fails saying access is denied and unable to set new owner.

    Any idea of how to totally and completely reset the drive ownerships? I thought blanking the drive would achieve that.

    Grateful for advice.

    Not entirely sure, usually there is an "initialise disk" option which you can do, however not sure its relevant in this case.
    I would download GParted ISO, burn to a blank CD, boot off it and use that to recreate a partition on the drive

    I'm Assuming you are using an Admin acc, Try Debug script on it, a quick google will find it.
