Translation Mode

(IDE disks only)

Lets you select the translation mode to be

used for the device. This enables the BIOS to

access disks partitioned and formatted on

other systems and may be necessary for

users of older versions of UNIX (e.g., SCO

UNIX version 3.2). Options are Bit-Shift, LBA

Assisted, User, and None.

ÄCAUTION: Ordinarily, the translation

mode selected automatically by the BIOS

should not be changed. If the selected

translation mode is not compatible with

the translation mode that was active

when the disk was partitioned and

formatted, the data on the disk will be

inaccessible.

Translation Parameters

(IDE Disks only)

Allows you to specify the parameters (logical

cylinders, heads, and sectors per track) used

by the BIOS to translate disk I/O requests

(from the operating system or an application)

into terms the hard drive can accept. Logical

cylinders may not exceed 1024. The number

of heads may not exceed 256. The number of

sectors per track may not exceed 63. These

fields are only visible and changeable when

the drive translation mode is set to User.

Support for Computer Setup options may vary depending on your specific hardware

configuration.
