LBA Mode Control
Enables or disables LBA Mode.
When LBA is turned on, the BIOS will enable geometry translation. This translation
may be done in the same way that it is done in Extended CHS or large mode, or it
may be done using a different algorithm called LBA-assist translation. The
translated geometry is still what is presented to the operating system for use in Int
13h calls. The difference between LBA and ECHS is that when using ECHS the
BIOS translates the parameters used by these calls from the translated geometry to
the drive's logical geometry. With LBA, it translates from the translated geometry
directly into a logical block (sector) number.
