Hi
I should send the ATA command(SECURITY SET PASSWORD) from Windows
2000/Windows XP.
However, IOCTL_IDE_PASS_THROUGH cannot use the writing command.
It obtained information here.
Moreover, IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH understood no support now.
Is there a method of writing in standard ATA HDD besides the above-mentioned
method?
Thank you for reading.
ATA pass through does NOT work in 2000, nor will it until SP5 is released;
and no, SP5 is not even in Beta. It does however work with XP SP2 RC1, and
in the XP hotfix you can get by requesting it from Microsoft. It also works
in Server 2003, and it is the Server 2003 header files that you will be
using to build your XP driver. XP SP2 RC1 is the best if you can get it
since it incorporates a few fixes from bugs we have found.

Thank you for the answer.
I have understood writing in ATA HDD has only IOCTL_ATA_PASS_THROUGH.
It is good if there is a method of writing in standard ATA HDD besides the
above-mentioned method…
