	Allows you to specify the parameters (logical cylinders, heads, and sectors per track) used by the BIOS
	to translate disk I/O requests (from the operating system or an application) into terms the hard drive
	can accept. Logical cylinders may not exceed 1024. The number of heads may not exceed 256. The
	number of sectors per track may not exceed 63. These fields are only visible and changeable when
	the drive translation mode is set to User.
	Default Values IDE/SATA
	Allows you to specify the default values for the Multisector Transfers, Transfer Mode, and Translation
	Mode for ATA devices.
