Issue resolved.

Problem: Bad firmware - SD15 on 7200.11 Seagate Barracuda drives.

Summary:
- After stumbling about Seagate website for a couple days, I managed to pack and send my hard-drive to their i365 Data Recovery center.
- They requested not to use any peanuts or bubble-wrap, so I was clueless as to how to actually package my hard-drive. UPS Store packed it in a foam material they found lying around on the floor, it's the only other thing the lady working there could find. It worked - sent the package.
- Seagate paid for shipping to their center.
- Took about 3 days. They unstuck my hard-drive from the loop. Flashed new firmware onto my HDD. And sent it back to me.
- UPS came on Friday, missed me. I had to wait all weekend before UPS came back with my HDD.
- Hooked it up today. HDD is working, my files are still here.
