Data cant be decrypted in DE Task

Hi,
I have WD Hubble 500GB WDC WD5000LMVW-11VEDS3 drive. All essential modules are ok. But 33 plist on head0 is bad in zeros.
1. Can I reduce its size in dir editor?
2. Sectors are not accessible without using utility. I can decrypt and access sectors in utility by using "use utility" option. But in DE task I can only access sectors but its not getting decrypted. What could be the issue?

Why it's not decrypting on DE?
You know that even if you do the decrypt in the utility, you have to do it again on DE.

I helped him out remotely already. It was a case of an SED drive that had a botched translator on copy 0 (even though the module's checksum seemed normal). It could read by utility, however, the data was obviously encrypted due to bypassing the normal SED.

I just subbed the SA regions to use SA region 1 and the drive functioned normally.
