My comments on the NORMAL and LBA modes applies to both Type AUTO and Type USER. The reason I went to NORMAL mode, is that your previous statement: >The bios AUTO setting doesnt use the partition >table. It just asks the drive about its parameters, >and the drive doesnt use the partition table either. is so obviously wrong, that I would not comment further. An Award BIOS looks at the partition table in both NORMAL, LARGE, LBA, and AUTO mode, when determining the translation to use. And it does this for both Type USER and Type AUTO. If the partition table contains zeroes, it is not used. -- Svend Olaf
