installed in your system. Highlight this option and press <Enter>. A

Standard CMOS Setup.
Hard Drive Mode
The G586IPB/E supports three HDD modes: Normal, LBA and Large. If
your hard disk drive does not support LBA mode, the " LBA" option will
not be displayed. If your HDD has 1024 or fewer cylinders, the " Large"
option will not be displayed.
Normal Mode
The Normal mode is the generic access mode in which neither the
BIOS nor the IDE controller will make any transformations during hard-
drive access.
The maximum number of cylinders, heads and sectors for Normal mode
are 1024, 16 and 63, respectively.
