You can have a look at this tool;

Use the hdat2 single version.

I can't update the BIOS with my USB because when i press enter on the update bio in the Q-Flash it freezes and only thing i can do is reset computer... now ill try to update it with @BIOS

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;

I don't even know why I had to go to setMAX thought i had to delete this HPA to delete the hidden space..

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?
