4.6.2.3 Non-volatile HPA/DCO/AMA removal
The Remove Sector Limitations utility permanently disables the HPA, DCO, or
AMA configurations on the selected drive. These changes are permanent, cannot be
undone, and will persist over drive power cycles.
For destination drives, the Remove Sector Limitations utility is included in the
Reconfigure function, which is available in the Contents section of the drive details
screen. Tap the desired destination drive tile from the home screen, and then tap the
Reconfigure button on the drive details screen. In the Reconfigure Setup screen,
select Remove Sector Limitations, and then press the Start button. Any identified
sector limitations (HPA/DCO or AMA) will be removed from the destination drive.
For source drives, the Remove Sector Limitations utility is available directly in the
Contents section of the drive details screen. This is because there is no Reconfigure
utility for source drives, since most of the Reconfigure options are specifically
intended for destination drives.
Note that for HPA/DCO, you cannot remove a DCO-protected region on a drive
without also removing any HPA-protected region, as defined by the ATA
specification.
If a drive has an HPA/DCO or AMA configured, a red warning message is displayed
in the Contents section of the drive details screen indicating the number of sectors
that are hidden by the HPA/DCO/AMA. The
icon is also shown on the edge of
the drive tile on the home screen and near the top of the drive details screen to
provide at-a-glance identification of the presence of a sector limiting configuration.
The screenshot below shows the drive details screen for a drive with a DCO-
protected region.
