Tine I am attempting to reclaim my hard drive from a Dell HPA and having some difficulties, will you please help me out?

My HDD is a Seagate ST3160812A5 160g reporting 149g when fully wiped via Dban autonuke or Hdparm security erase unit.

I have had no luck with Hdparm in setting real max sectors, I consistently get an I/O error despite the drive being unfrozen with master password set. I am now trying to work with Hdat2 and still having no luck.

What's odd is Hdat2 is reporting my bios to be 8.4gigs in size, that's impossible. My Device info on Hdat2 reads like so

Source-ATA LBA28 cyl 16383 head 16 sectors 63 total 268435455 =137.44gig (I presume this is because my main partition is a little smaller than normal, I've been messing around with my partitions for various reasons)

Source LBA48 cyl ----- head ----- sectors ----- total 312500000 = 160.00gig

Source CHS cyl 16383 head 16 sectors 63 total 16434495 = 8.46gig

Source INT13H/Bios cyl 1023 head 255 sectors 63 total 16434495 = 8.41gig

I would really like to reclaim my hard drive to 160g is this possible? I believe if anyone can do it, you can.
