Finally I got rid of my HPA. The HDAT2 forum holds the answer:
http://hdat2.getphpbb.com/hdat2-common-f3/drive-does-not-remember-set- max-address-t120.html User "drasar" describes the necessary steps for his Acer TravelMate 8004LMi which is very similar to my Acer TravelMate 662LMi: ---- I solved it with HDAT2 v4.5.2 as follows: 1. SET MAX (HPA) Menu --> set new NATIVE MAX ADDRESS [last sector] (in 48bit LBA mode) -- so user area will have full drive capacity now 2. Device Configuration Overlay Menu --> Modify --> Host Protected Area feature --> set REMOVE action ---- So you actually have to remove the HPA feature (not only the HPA itself!) from your HDD so that the BIOS is no longer able to create a new HPA on system startup. -- Manual partitioning shows no partitions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267199 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
