Target (external) drive to the Master (internal)

CHS Translation
(Set within the LBA Mode of Clever)
CHS Mode sets the geometry (
C
ylinder,
H
ead and
S
ector) translation used on the Target drive. CHS
information is stored in the partition table of the
hard drive and is used by the BIOS to determine
from which partition to boot.
The correct setting will depend upon the capacity of
the Target drive and on the BIOS of the PC in which
it will be used. Check with the hard drive and PC
manufacturer to determine which CHS mode is best
as different BIOS systems use different translation
methods for large capacity drives.
CHS Translation Settings
The following are the CHS modes supported by the
SuperSonix:
LBA
(Default) – This CHS Mode will work for most
hard drive and PC combinations and should be
used unless otherwise indicated.
Large –
Also known as Extended CHS (ECHS)
mode. It is used on some Compaq and Samsung
computers, some IBM PC’s, Thinkpad laptops,
some newer Dell laptops, and possibly other
computers. It should also be used whenever a
Phoenix BIOS version 4.0 or earlier is encountered.
LBA 8.5
and
LRG 8.5
– These settings force all
partitions to remain below the 8 GB mark. This is
useful with Legacy motherboards that cannot
support drives larger that 8.5 GB.
