I managed to get into HDAT2 and it says that HPA is active.. should i disable it?
And it also says that current native is 1TB, current user has only 33mb and that current hidden is 1TB <- HPA
New user has 1TB <-full native size
and new hidden 0.00<- O.K.

What should I do on this screen?
BTW: I manged to update BIOS, it is now up to date

Difficult to suggest something because each firmware is depend on manufacturer, firmware and revision of the board of your disk.
Maybe this could be helpful;

Did you get your data back?
SetMAX helped in most cases if LBA (Logical Block Addressing) doesn't fit.
In case would you set your topic as solved?
