Harddisk operating mode 1

[sivasakthi]

Hai ,
I have read in a article that the hardisk can be operating in one of two modes ( CHS, LBA )

CHS - Cylynder Head Sector Addressing
But I dont know even basics about LBA? What is LBA?

Please explain about LBA.. or else point some links...

with regards

LBA - Large/Line Block Access

Maybe it is not right!i also want to know the exact meaning!

Regards!

Logical Block Addressing. Without it, your hard drives would be severly restricted in size.
