l Set up of HDD operating mode
<NORMAL, LBA, LARGE>
Since old operating systems were only able to support HDD whose
capacity was not bigger than 528MB, any hard disk with more than
528MB was unusable. AWARD BIOS features a solution to this
problem: you can, according to your operating system, choose three
operating modes: NORMAL, LBA or LARGE.
ä Normal mode:
Standard normal mode supports hard disks of 528MB or
less. This mode directly uses positions indicated by
Cylinders (CYLS), Heads, and Sectors to access data.
