SUMMARY
Many computers cannot access more than 528 MB of data on IDE drives, which
is by design. However, some third-party software programs can allow access
of data beyond the 528 MB limit such as On Track Disk Manager. Some
hardware manufacturers have introduced enhancements to the BIOS and the IDE
controllers so that data can be virtually accessed through Logical Block
Addressing (LBA). If the hardware manufacturer of your computer does not
provide this feature, you may want to upgrade your BIOS to the Disk
Extender.
MORE INFORMATION
Most large IDE drives support LBA. One of Disk Extender's preferred
requirements is that the computer supports LBA for its IDE drives. If your
computer does not provide this support, Disk Extender uses Block Transfer
Mode for the IDE drives so that data can be accessed beyond 528 MB. Disk
Extender works with any of the Microsoft operating systems and supports up
to four IDE hard drives on a system.
