Hitachi 2TB driver Missing 2113 Sectors
Hi Guys,
One of my hitachi drives is short 2113 sectors on the advertised amout - I have six of these drives and all the other 5 report correctly. The drive reports nothing out of the ordinary in SMART. There is a HPA - Gigabyte screwed me. Last edited by HrdwrBoB; 5th September 2011 at 9:26 AM. |

1. Unplug HD data cable 2. Reboot, fiddle with BIOS to boot from floppy 3. Plug in HD 4. Run MHDD to remove HPA 5. Unplug HD 6. Reboot, change BIOS back to normal boot process 7. Plug in HD What a pain. BTW, the HD it "infected" was connected to a SATA expansion card, so this feature isn't just limited to the onboard ports. |
