[Sheflug] LBA

[Ross <nospam [at] ntlworld.com>]

hi

windows crashed on me recently (i know.... no surprizes there!)
upon restarting, scan disk reported that my second disk (hdb)
was not LBA enabled and that data may become corrupt if scan disk runs!

i have had trouble with KFM accessing that drive (locking up when listing
directories) which was resolved by moding FSTAB to access the drive in binary
mode.

is this just windows nonsense or is it an issue i should address?
my bios has no option to enable LBA!

        Ross
