LBA Mode
When set to Auto, the BIOS utility
automatically detects if the installed hard
disk supports the function. If supported, it
allows you to use a hard disk with a
capacity of more than 528 MB. This is made
possible through the Logical Block Address
(LBA) mode translation. However, this
enhanced IDE feature works only under
DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows
98, Windows NT 3.5 and above, and
Windows 2000. Other operating systems
require this parameter to be set to
Disabled.
