How can I program my hard disk drive

 

[WyomingKnott]

Can you provide more detail about what you want to do? An HDD can't be "programmed," unless you are writing microcode.

Do you want to partition and format a new drive? Do you want to install the operating system on it? Do you want to install some other software?

 

[RNTheeter]

If you are trying to partition or format it, you got to go to a dosprompt and use fdisk. Than there are some options you can choose from.

Do you mean "partition"? If you could give me some more information on what you mean, I might be able to provide a solution.

If you want to change some HDD internal parameters, modify SMART or HPA data you are going to have to get to a ATA terminal with something like MHDD or Victoria.
If you want control of the spindle assembly buy a COM-to-TTL converter, find the manufacturers specs and learn machine language.
Experiment with something like dfsee on an old HDD first.
