How to disable HPA capability using DCO on a SATA HDD?

The name of the pictureThe name of the pictureThe name of the pictureClash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

My Gigabyte motherboard has a stupid BIOS that forces a HPA on the HDD. This can not be disabled in the BIOS.



What I would like to do is reset the HPA (easy enough using hdparm -N p<native_capacity> /dev/sda) and then subsequently use DCO to configure the drive to refuse the creation of the HPA by the BIOS.



Are there any Linux tools I can use to modify various DCO features?



i.e something that is more flexible rather than just a simple hdparm --yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing --dco-restore /dev/sda






linux hard-disk hdparm

          How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
