Unable to reset 48 bit LBA mode to Samsung HD103UJ hard disk

[Ella Mentry]

I have bought 4 Samsung HD103UJ hard disk for using as NAS, but for reason it did not worked. Then i tried switching off 48 bit LBA mode from ES-Tool of Samsung homepage. As i could always change it later i did not pay attention at its consequences. Now i want to shift back at 48 bit but can’t do it. I have tried tools like ES-Tool, HUTIL and HDat2 but none of them helped. I thought HDD Capacity Restore will help me but even that could not help me! ES-Tool is showing me “Error: Abort command” , HDD Capacity Restore showing me error that my hard disk is inaccessible or corrupted hence i could not recover all of the capacity. It is also suggesting me to try this on another platform! When i contacted Samsung for this problem they said that “switching off 48 bit mode is not the intended use” and hence they can’t help me! Now i need your help please help me solve this problem!

It doesn’t look like it is going to be easy to solve this problem! I would have sent them for servicing as it is caused by the software itself. Get your hard drive replaced or repaired from Samsung. If they are refusing to help you then try using the firmware update for solving this problem.
