HDD questions

[Roman Kurakin]

This is realy CHS request, not lba. I checked configuration it contains 6 in
word 53 from indentify drive information. Ata driver decides because of that
that hdd is in CHS mode not in LBA.
By the way I checked this hdd with other main board. I read this (I hope 
that it
is realy this one) sector without any problem. But hdd seems to be 
wroking in
CHS mode any way.

Any ideas?
