ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are used to adapt a disk drive accessing system to access a maximum storage capacity of at least one disk drive. A Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) memory extension is carried by an adapter. The disk drive to be accessed is identified and address parameters for the disk drive are determined based on instructions in the BIOS extension. The address parameters correspond to the maximum storage capacity of the disk drive. The address parameters are determined by the disk drive accessing system and are suitable for being used by the accessing system in accessing the maximum storage capacity of the disk drive. The disk drive is then configured for being accessed using the address parameters.
