commercial tool for creating HPA /DCO Set Max

July 1st, 2015, 1:01

Hi all
Is there any commercial windows based tool for creating / manipulation of HPA ( often in industrial pcs size of disk is very small 2GB etc) & we need to match sectors of larger disk with smaller one ( Setmax )
currently we use HDAT2 , but are looking for more professional tool. Linux has few tools , but we want a windows based one as it can be used in remote customer site easily with other dos based tools.

A nice easy to use HPA command is available.
