I'm trying to setup hddparm with my Intel 520 because my motherboard doesn't have native ata password support... The drive itself is hooked up to a Intel SATA controller.

I was thinking of using easybcd to create a boot menu -> which would have options to Windows 7 and a small linux distro -> then inside the small linux distro I install hddparm for setting password...

The command would be
hdparm --user-master u --security-set-pass <pas> /dev/<your_drive>
hdparm --user-master u --security-unlock <pas> /dev/<your_drive>

And I can figure out which /dev/ is my looking at fdisk or something

Is this the right idea?

Thanks
