Enhanced IDE Features
Hard Disk Size > 504 MB
When set to Auto, the BIOS utility automatically detects if the installed hard disk supports
the function. If supported, it allows you to use a hard disk with a capacity of more than
504 MB. This is made possible through the Logical Block Address (LBA) mode
translation. However, this enhanced IDE feature works only under DOS and
Windows 3.x, 9x environments. The default setting is Auto.
Hard Disk Block Mode
This function enhances disk performance depending on the hard disk in use. If you set
this parameter to Auto, the BIOS utility automatically detects if the installed hard disk
drive supports the Block Mode function. If supported, it allows data transfer in block
(multiple sectors) at a rate of 256 bytes per cycle. To disregard the feature, change the
setting to Disabled. The default setting is Auto.
