I do not see anything like that in the BIOS of my T23.
My /var/log/dmesg contains the following lines
hda: attached ide-disk driver.
hda: Host Protected Area detected.
current capacity is 71969781 sectors (36849 MB)
native capacity is 78140160 sectors (40008 MB)
hda: 71969781 sectors (36849 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=3D4759/240/63, UDMA=
(100)
Are there any Linux tools that can disable the HPA? Extra 3 gigs would
be nice to have.
