ST 3300831A HPA Error
August 26th, 2006, 8:47
I saw several people having similar problems with NHPA - fail error when trying to change the max. LBA address.
So do I with this drive. Is it worth looking further for TMOS stuff? Would this likely help me to bring back 300 GB as from the current 32GB ( no clipping jumper set)? Thanks for reading and helping!

Hi,
I had similar problem on a samsung drive where some PCB damage caused the drive to think the Cap Limit jumper was set and it was limited to 32G. But still I was able to set the max LBA to the drive's original size by SW (not MHDD).
regards,
pepe

Probably this is the HPA2/48 issue of the SG firmware.

sorry, folks, I am not familiar with the (should read:)HPA 24(!)/48 problem. What would you suggest is the best procedure to solve this ( if any)? Any thanks for the response to all!
Addendum: I found the solution: In the FAQ to HDAT2 I found an explanation and the steps to set back HPA on my seagate drive.
