Me parece tratar-se disso aqui:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_ATA#HDD_passwords_and_security
The disk lock is a built-in security feature in the disk. It is part of the ATA specification, and thus not specific to any brand or device. The disk lock can be enabled and disabled by sending special ATA commands to the drive. If a disk is locked, it will refuse all access until it is unlocked.
(...)
While the ATA disk lock is intended to be impossible to defeat without a valid password, there are workarounds to unlock a drive. Many data recovery companies offer unlocking services,[27] so while the disk lock will deter a casual attacker, it is not secure against a qualified adversary.
Ou seja, o esse HD foi travado com um PASSWORD ATA e para destravar precisa do password...
Existem vários jeitos que você acha no google pra contornar isso, mas não me responsabilizo por esses hacks, então boa sorte na pesquisa:
