LBA:

Logical Block Addressing:
Logical block addressing is a technique that allows a computer to address a 
hard disk larger than 528 megabytes. A logical block address is a 28-bit 
value that maps to a specific cylinder-head-sector address on the disk. 28 
bits allows sufficient variation to specify addresses on a hard disk up to 
8.4 gigabytes in data storage capacity. Logical block addressing is one of 
the defining features of Enhanced IDE (EIDE), a hard disk interface to the 
computer bus or data paths.
