Got a hitachi vlat20 that is giving problems
I can read the drive but can't write anything to it.
HPA is set and I can't get it to reset

I have tried all the regular things:
Capacity restore
Mhdd
victoria
Hdat2
Hitachi Feature tool
and probably some others I don't remember.
Everything says success, but when I check hpa is still set.

Anyone got any ideas or tips

Have you checked the configuration modules in the SA or even the NVRAM for corruption? NOTE : is the PCB native ? ;) Wile E. Coyote is always on the loose... :D

Check the jumper settings.

Jumpers are correct.
Pcb is native
Have no way to check Sa on this drive.

It's as if the drive is write protected.
Any attempt to write to drive gives no error,
but the data doesn't change.

I vote for SA or NVRAM alteration.
