of the following problems may have occurred:
– The values may be set with an incorrect translation charac-
teristic.
– You may have entered a parameter value that exceeds the
physical capacity of the drive.
– You entered a translation characteristic that does not take full
advantage of the drive’s capacity.
– The drive’s physical specifications exceed the translation lim-
its imposed by the BIOS.
Caution. If you change the drive-type values in the
system setup program, you must partition and format
the drive again.
This erases data on the drive.

If you have partitioned the drive into individual logical drives,
you may need to make the partitions smaller to access the full
drive capacity.
