whoups, that's bad. humm, there are plenty of things you could do - first
I'd do a full power cycle (switch off, switch on- not just a reset). If
that doesn't help, trying to access this drive using windows is another
option.

If all that doesn't help I'd consider this drive simply broken and I'd
return it to the retailer and ask for a working one.

AFAIK sending the regionset commands shouldn't harm the drive, these
commands are afaik well-defined and afaik it is completely legal to set
the region, in fact, you have to do so to use the drive anyway.

Cheers,
