drive. In the LBA mode, the maximum drive capacity is 137 GB. For drive
capacities over 137 GB, your system must be equipped with 48-bit LBA

IDE controller card that supports 48-bit LBA mode. The options are Dis-
abled or Auto.

if block mode is not used. Block mode allows transfers of up to 64 KB
per interrupt. Select Disabled to allow the data to be transferred from
and to the device one sector at a time. Select Auto to allows the data
transfer from and to the device occur multiple sectors at a time if the
device supports it. The options are Auto and Disabled.
