⚫ Set up of HDD operating mode:
NORMAL, LBA, LARGE
Since older DOS operating systems were only able to support IDE HDD whose
capacity was not bigger than 528MB, any IDE hard disk with more than 528MB was
unusable under DOS. AWARD BIOS features a solution to this problem: you can,
according to your operating system, choose three operating modes: NORMAL, LBA
or LARGE.
Normal mode:
Standard normal mode supports hard disks of 528MB or less under
DOS. This mode directly uses positions indicated by Cylinders
(CYLS), Heads, and Sectors to access data.
Certain Operating System may require you to setup your IDE Hard
Disk in this mode.
