How to Remove Host Protected Area (HPA) of Hard disk under windows

I wish to remove Host Protected Area(HPA) of Hard Disk in Windows only
through API calls... I found in Linux version ie, "setmax.c" which should be
ported to windows... It shouldn't be written through Device Driver becaz for
driver loading service be created...Whenever service is created, service
key for app. is stored in Registry that shouldn't be happened due to
SRS...Please send me the solution asap...
Regards,
Mohan
