In order for LBA to work, it must be supported by the BIOS and operating
system, but since it is also a new way of talking to the hard disk, the disk
must support it as well. All newer hard disks do in fact support LBA, and
when auto-detected by a BIOS supporting LBA, will be set up to use that
mode.
A drive using LBA is not subject to the 504 MiB disk size barrier, however
there has been a great deal of confusion regarding LBA and what it does. In
particular, a lot of people think that it is the LBA addressing that "gets around
the 504 MB barrier".
LBA from the BIOS doesn't affect newer OSs such as Linux, or NT/2000,
because these OSs bypass the BIOS services and make their own direct
LBA calls.
(The default BIOS setting for LBA/Large mode is Auto)
SATA 1(DMA Mode)
(The default BIOS setting for DMA mode is Auto)
