MODE :
The BIOS on the mainboard is the updated one and which provides three different
modes to support both normal size IDE hard disk drive and the hard disk drive which is
above 528MB:
NORMAL : For IDE hard disk drives which is smaller than 528MB.
LBA
: For IDE hard disk drive which is above 528MB (ideally, it can be as big
as 8.4GB ) that use Logic Block Addressing (LBA) mode.
Large
: For IDE hard disk drive which is above 528MB and does not support
LBA mode.
Note : “large mode” may not be fully supported by all operation systems. It is suggested
to be used with the MS-DOS but such hard disk drive is not very popular
nowadays.
