Large
Also called Extended CHS (ECHS) in some BIOS versions, Large is a BIOS translation mode that extends the 504 MB drive size barrier of the standard CHS mode to 4.2 GB.
LBA (Logical Block Addressing)
A translation mode that converts the cylinder, head, and sector specifications of a hard drive into logical addresses that can be processed by the BIOS. LBA supports drives up to 32 GB or larger depending upon the limitations of the BIOS. To use, it must be supported by both the BIOS and the drive.
