User Interface Options - Ampro LittleBoard800 Reference Manual

Chapter 4
NOTE
This feature allows you to use any one of the three common formats
available for CompactFlash cards without having to re-format the
CompactFlash card before you can use it on the LittleBoard 800. The
LBA (Logical Block Address) is set as the default format because it can
handle larger drives and is the newest format available, but may not be
the one used to format your CompactFlash card. The other common
formats that may be encountered are the Physical (below 512MB) or
Phoenix (physical above 512MB) formats.
