Have an old 80 gig hard drive with an HPA(host protected access) partition,
which is wasting space; tried to use linux function 'hdparm'
on it using an ide/usb adapter, but recieved message bad or missing sense
data, exactly what I get with flash drives and sd cards.
Threw the drive in an old
You could try using a SATA to IDE adapter in your other machine. That
would probably provide the low-level access to the partition table the
software needs.
Do you know why the old IDE machine is non-functional? If you have the
time to troubleshoot the problem it might be something cheap and easy
Do you have a floppy drive? If you do then make a dos bootable floppy.
Find wipe on the web and download it.
Run wipe to clean the drive of everything. Your floppy should also have

I too have always used xp on fat! As for ide to sata adapter, the sata
machine is too cramped to fit it. As for wipe, is that a dos app? Are you
sure it could remove the HPA partition? I have already used a bootable
cd with active killdisk to wipe the drive, but, ostensibly, regular wipers
cannot

I've noticed a difference in command line parsing between FreeDOS and PC-DOS.
Both FreeDOS and PC-DOS put the command line, starting with the character
