NOTE: HDD Modes
The Award BIOS supports 3 HDD modes : NORMAL, LBA & LARGE
NORMAL mode
Generic access mode in which neither the BIOS nor the IDE controller will make any
transformations during accessing.
The maximum number of cylinders, head & sectors for NORMAL mode are 1024, 16 & 63.
no. Cylinder
(1024)
x no. Head
( 16)
x no. Sector
( 63)
x no. per sector
( 512)
528 Megabytes
If user set this HDD to NORMAL mode, the maximum accessible HDD size will be 528
Megabytes even though its physical size may be greater than that!
LBA (Logical Block Addressing) mode
A new HDD accessing method to overcome the 528 Megabyte bottleneck. The number of
cylinders, heads & sectors shown in setup may not be the number physically contained in the
HDD.
During HDD accessing, the IDE controller will transform the logical address described by
sector, head & cylinder into its own physical address inside the HDD.
The maximum HDD size supported by LBA mode is 8.4 Gigabytes which is obtained by the
following formula:
no. Cylinder (1024)
x no. Head
( 255)
x no. Sector
( 63)
x bytes per sector ( 512)
8.4 Gigabytes
