Access Mode Set the access Method to the connected device. Note that when the device
detection method is set as “None” it cannot be changed.
CHS:
Access for the device is shortened with “Cylinder Head Sector
(Addressing) “having
0 to
1023 cylinders, 0 to 15 heads and 0 to 63
sectors.
LBA: Shortened with the Logical Block Addressing Method, the entire
memory area is divided into access units and those serial numbers are
used for accessing.
Large: This is the access method for extended CHS. When the number of CHS
cylinders exceeds the normal amount of 1024 cylinders, the address is
not accessible so the CHS is extended.
Auto: BIOS determines the optimum method based on the information
obtained by the device. The LBA method is normally used.
