3.7 TECHNIQUES IN DRIVE CONFIGURATION
3.7.1 Operating system limitations
Most popular operating systems available today have additional
limitations which affect the use of large capacity drives. However, these
limitations can not be corrected on the BIOS and it is up to the operating
system manufacturers to release improved versions to address these
problems.
Table 3-4 Logical Addressing Format
To match the logical specifications of the drive to the drive type of a
particular BIOS, consult the system’s drive-type table. This table
specifies the number of cylinders, heads, and sectors for a particular
drive type.
Boot the system using the operating system installation disk—for
example, MS-DOS—then follow the installation instructions in the
operating system manual.
