Settings
HD 1: LBA Mode
HD 2: LBA Mode
This field enables and disables the LBA (Logical Block Addressing) mode.
LBA mode allows you to install and use hard disks with a capacity of more
than 528 Mbytes. If a hard disk supports LBA mode, you can use its full
capacity.
You may only change the default entry when installing a new hard disk.
!
You may only use IDE drives in the LBA mode selected when they
were set up. In other words, if you set up a hard disk with LBA mode
DISABLED
, you may only operate the hard disk with LBA mode
DISABLED
.
DISABLED
The BIOS uses the hard disk parameters and supports a maximum
capacity of 528 Mbytes.
ENABLED
If the hard disk supports LBA and it has a capacity of more than 528
Mbytes, the BIOS translates the hard disk parameters, allowing the disk's
full capacity to be used.
If the hard disk does not support LBA, its parameters are not translated.
Default entry: depending on built-in hard disk drive
