I need help on my WD Black2 Dual Drive. I have this drive for testing purposes— so I need to wipe its data often by writing zero to it using Darik's Boot and Nuke utility. After several attempts, the drive is no longer detected by Windows as a WD Black2 Dual Drive. Instead Windows 7 detects it as a JMicron SSD drive (JMicron JMF667D A1 SSD).
Bad luck, I could no longer unlock its 1TB partition using the WD Black2 Partition software. I have successfully updated its firmware but still its WD identity is not recovered.
What must I do to restore its factory settings or whatever you call it?
Thanks.

Obviously, I'm looking for a solution to the problem. WD released a new FW so I took the risk of updating it, hoping it will fix the problem.

yes I can still access the drive but the problem here is that any WD software is useless because they can't detect the drive. I don't know what it's called, Device ID? — basta nawala apil ang WD serial #. JMicron SSD na ang ma-detect sa OS.
Kung sa tawo pa nawala na iyang name, hehe.
