If sector edit works and T> is present and all SA tables load, then I would check if HPA has been set. Try to set max LBA and check it.

Otherwise, problems with capacity could relate to translator issue, though this would usually display as 0mb, or some read error as capacity is stored at SA and if for some reason this cannot read, capacity cant be shown.

Check HPA first.
