3.7 TECHNIQUES IN DRIVE CONFIGURATION<br />
3.7.1 Operating system limitations<br />
Most popular operating systems available today have additional<br />
limitations which affect the use of large capacity drives. However, these<br />
limitations can not be corrected on the BIOS and it is up to the operating<br />
system manufacturers to release improved versions to address these<br />
problems.<br />

To match the logical specifications of the drive to the drive type of a<br />
particular BIOS, consult the system’s drive-type table. This table<br />
specifies the number of cylinders, heads, and sectors for a particular<br />
drive type.<br />
Boot the system using the operating system installation disk—for<br />
example, MS-DOS—then follow the installation instructions in the<br />
operating system manual.<br />
