CHS: Cylinder/Head/Sector
LBA: (Logical Block Addressing): During drive accesses, the IDE
controller transforms the data address described by sector, head, and
cylinder number into a physical block address, significantly improving
data transfer rates. For drives with greater than 1024 cylinders.

Large: For drives that do not support LBA and have more than 1024
cylinders. Applicable to only a few drives.

AUTO: The BIOS automatically determines the optimal mode.

ACCESS MODE: Auto
