This option lets you set the following hard disk parameters:
Type

Multi-Sector Transfers
This option allows you to specify the number of sectors per block for
multiple sector transfers.
Disabled/ 2 Sectors / 4 Sectors / 8 Sectors / 16 Sectors
LBA Mode Control
Enables or disables LBA Mode.
When LBA is turned on, the BIOS will enable geometry translation. This
translation may be done in the same way that it is done in Extended CHS
or large mode, or it may be done using a different algorithm called LBA-
assist translation. The translated geometry is still what is presented to
the operating system for use in Int 13h calls. The difference between
LBA and ECHS is that when using ECHS the BIOS translates the
parameters used by these calls from the translated geometry to the
drive's logical geometry. With LBA, it translates from the translated
geometry directly into a logical block (sector) number.
