Logical Block Addressing (LBA)
Regular addressing of IDE/ATA drives is done by specifying a cylinder, head and sector address where the data that is required resides. Extended CHS addressing adds a translation step that changes the way the geometry appears in order to break the 504 MiB barrier, but the addressing is still done in terms of cylinder, head and sector numbers (they are just translated one or more times before they get to the actual disk itself).

∙ 9y agoLBA, in relation to computer hard drives, means Logical Block Addressing. LBA replaces older schemes such as CHS (cylinder-head-sector). CHS was not very useful for newer types of hard drives and storage devices other than hard drives. After all, IDE/ATA/SATA drives use varying sectors per track. Those devices did use translation modes to convert whatever scheme they used into cylinder, head, and sector values, but the usefulness of this was limited. Plus the old schemes had size limits that are considered very small by today's standards.
The current 48-bit LBA scheme can address drives as large as 128 PiB.

Which mode BIOS must be used for 10 GB hard drives?
If your 10GB hard disk is not detected, you dont need to change any bios mode. The motherboard will have problem detecting the hard drive. Search for your bios updates to get your hard drive detected.

What is LBA LINUX?
LBA Linux is 1.) "Linux Business Alliance" -- a version of Linux out of Finland, formerly known as SOT Linux. Sot merged with another "flavor" to become "LBA Linux" 2.) lba -- initials used for "logical block address", something to do with formatting and using a hard drive.

no
What is the difference between hard disks and floppy disks?
hard disks are generally contains within the computer and contain FAR more memory than a floppy disk does. floppy disks generally contain 1.44 mb where as hard drives are constantly developing and are currently about 1TB MAX. floppy disks are external in the same way as CD's
