SeaTools for Windows and USB 4K-sector drives

[ Edited ]

About:

Seagate Barracuda Green 2000 GB;  S/N: [ Edited to comply with forum guidelines ] ;  st2000dl003;  p/n: 9vt166-515;  Firmware: cc45

Drive is in an external casing with USB3.0

Drive is a 4K sector drive with 512-byte sector emulation (Advanced format) 

Connected to Windows XP (USB2.0)  and also to Win7HP (USB3.0)

 

 

Hi,

 

On Win7 SeaTools_for_Windows FAILS to perform the command USB_Erase_Tracks -> Basic  as well as  Full_Disc_Erase.

I got a red-colored message saying "USB Erase Boot Sectors - FAIL".

 

So, does SeaTools get along with replica watches online 4K-sector (or Advanced Format) drives??  If yes, why does SeaTools not erase the drive??

 

Thanks in advance,
