capacities over 137 GB, your system must be equipped with 48-bit LBA mode
addressing. If not, contact your manufacturer or install an ATA/133 IDE
controller card that supports 48-bit LBA mode. The options are Disabled or

Block (Multi-Sector Transfer)
Block mode boosts IDE drive performance by increasing the amount of data
transferred. Only 512 bytes of data can be transferred per interrupt if block
mode is not used. Block mode allows transfers of up to 64 KB per interrupt.
