I am sure the drive is fine and also MHDD29 HPA bulb is accurate.

"Being a part of the restoring console, FirstWare Recover Pro allows to keep in the specialized protected area on a hard disk (host protected area, HPA) the user data, appendices, OS, etc. The Appendix enables users to restore factory adjustments of system or "to be rolled away" to kept in advance own adjustments of system without intervention of service of technical support."


Toshiba HDD is from a Dell Laptop with Phoenix BIOS.

TheftGuard is the first theft deterrent application that cannot be removed or replaced merely by installing another hard drive. The solution is digitally registered and installed in the Phoenix cME FirstBIOS and Host Protected Area (HPA), which is a secure environment independent of the operating system. If a registered machine is reported as stolen on the TheftGuard website, the next time the machine is connected to the Internet it will automatically send a signal which will verify it as stolen. The machine can then immediately be disabled, the IP address can be captured for tracking purposes and the data on the hard drive can even be deleted. Since TheftGuard is enabled through Phoenix cME FirstBIOS, the application will still be able to check for integrity of the application components even if a new hard drive is placed in the system.
