Does IFW/IFD include the Host Protected Area in an image if the complete hard drive is selected?

Hello,
No, not if it's active (that would be by design, as the HPA area is to
prevent access to part of the drive during normal operation).
However, the (hardware) wiping will find a HPA and offer to turn it off so
the entire drive can be accessed.
