TECHNIQUES IN DRIVE CONFIGURATION

3.7.1

Operating system limitations

Most popular operating systems available today have additional

limitations which affect the use of large capacity drives. However, these

limitations can not be corrected on the BIOS and it is up to the operating

system manufacturers to release improved versions to address these

problems.

Table 3-4

Logical Addressing Format

To match the logical specifications of the drive to the drive type of a

particular BIOS, consult the system’s drive-type table. This table

specifies the number of cylinders, heads, and sectors for a particular

drive type.

Boot the system using the operating system installation disk—for

example, MS-DOS—then follow the installation instructions in the

operating system manual.
