User This allows you to fill in the
Cylinders, Heads and Sectors/
Track fields. It automatically
calculates "size" based on this
information. The numbers for
all these fields should be
printed on the hard disk itself,
or in its accompanying docu-
mentation.
Note: For future use, and as a precaution,
make a record the hard disk's original con-

"seeing" HDDs is inadequate for
drives larger than 528MB. LBA
mode corrects this and allows for
hard disks up to 128GB.
ATA and LBA modes overlap. So

an HDD is first formatted, sections
may not be readable under the
LBA system. (This does not mat-

If you're using an HDD not format-
ted using LBA mode, do not use
the "Auto" setting.
