For example, to demonstrate the main features of Acronis True Image we used a
Quantum
TM
Fireball
TM
TM1700A hard disk as one of the disks in our examples. Its
parameters have the following values:
Parameter Value
Type Auto
Cylinder (Cyl) 827
Heads (Hd) 64
Sectors (Sec) 63
Mode Auto
CHS 1707 MB
Maximum LBA Capacity 1707 MB
In BIOS setup, you can set the Type parameter to User Type HDD (user-defined
type). In this case, you also have to specify the value of the translation mode
parameter, which can be Auto/Normal/LBA/Large.
T
ranslation mode is how sector addresses are translated. This parameter appeared because in
BIOS versions, there were limitations to the maximum address capacity of disks, which is
504 MB (1024 cylinders x 16 heads x 63 sectors x 512 bytes). There are two ways to bypass
this limitation: (1) switch from physical to logical sector addresses (LBA), (2) use mathematics
to reduce the number of addressed sectors (cylinders) and increase the number of heads; this
method is called Lar
g
e Disk (Lar
g
e). The simplest decision is to set the value of this
parameter to Auto.
If there are several hard disks connected to your motherboard, but you do not want
to use some of them at the moment, you have to set the Type of these disks to Not
Installed.
Parameters of hard disks can be set manually with the help of information provided
by the hard disk manufacturer on its case, but it is easier to use the IDE
autodetection utility that is usually included in modern BIOS versions.
The utility is sometimes a separate BIOS menu item and sometimes is included in
the standard CMOS setup menu.
Please note that in Appendix B. «Hard disks and BIOS setup» we have described the
g
eneral
details of
physical hard disk structure. Built-in IDE hard disk controls mask the physical disk
structure. As a result, the BIOS of the motherboard «sees»
logical cylinders, heads and
sectors. We are not
g
oin
g
to elaborate on this issue here, but knowin
g
about this can
sometimes be useful.
B.2.3 Arranging boot sequence, advanced CMOS setup menu
Aside from standard CMOS setup, BIOS menu usually has an advanced CMOS setup
item. Here you can adjust the boot sequence: C:; A:; CD-ROM:.
