硬盘常规维护（Hard disk routine maintenance） 1. hard disk capacity limit issues Some old motherboards cant support large capacity hard disks, which is actually called hard disk capacity restriction. Here, analyze the causes of capacity limitations. (1) capacity limitation Before the engineers in the design of magnetic storage products, is considered to save and easy to implement, such as using less addressing range, which is now the hard disk capacity constraints buried a huge risk. Many problems in the capacity limit famous 8.4GB capacity barriers, because of the low version of BIOS uses 10 bits for the number of cylinders, with 8 bits to represent the number of heads, with 6 bits to represent the number of sectors, which leads to a maximum of only 512 x 63 x 255 x 1024= 8.4GB BIOS support capacity, so the use of this part of the user of the BIOS system for large capacity hard disk will meet the capacity problem mentioned above. So, the engineers in order to break through the obstacles of 8.4GB capacity, thought to extend the definition of the new INT13, addressing expanded parameter INT13 does not use the operating system of the register transfer disk, it uses its own address address stored in the package, package is a 64 bit LBA address, if the hard disk support LBA addressing, the low of 28 the address is passed directly to the ATA dialog box, if the operating system does not support, the first LBA address to the CHS address, and then transferred to the ATA dialog box. In this way, the maximum capacity of CHS addressable on the ATA bus can be achieved, and the maximum capacity of the LBA addressing is 137.4GB 136.9GB. (2) capacity limitation is addressed After the above principle analysis, for the old motherboard can not identify large capacity hard disk problem, the direct method is to update the BIOS. In addition to the above refresh motherboard BIOS method, users can also use some hard disk management tools to solve, these tools can be found from the hard disk vendo
