should be used for your hard drive, do not accept them. Press the <N> key
to reject the values and enter the correct ones manually on the Standard
CMOS Setup screen.

ports LBA mode, more than one line will appear in the parameter box,
choose the line that lists LBA for an LBA drive. Do not choose Large or
Normal if the hard disk drive is already fully formatted when you install
it, choose the mode which is used to format it.
