I mean the BIOS in the machine I am using (Award, dated 12/08/1994) has LBA support, with 1 logical block= 8 sectors. This value seems hardcoded. I do not know whether this is the case for newer machines. I keep LBA disabled, for I partitioned the HD with 4-sector clusters.

Read this whitepaper to separate the two and get a better understanding. http://p.sf.net/sfu/hp-phase2-d2d _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
