This item allows you to enable or disable Logical Block Addressing (LBA) mode
control to address drive locations. LBA involves serializing the sectors on a drive,
so that each one has an integer number, ranging from 0 until the total number of
sectors on the drive. This mode is standard for addressing large hard disks that
have more than 1024 cylinders (thereby having a capacity of over 512 Mbytes).
By selecting Enabled, you choose LBA mode control. By selecting Disabled, you
are choosing CHS addressing, which addresses drive locations using the cylinder,
head, and sector number.
