HDD Modes (Re: Quiz Questions)

[Davetronz]

Ok, so I am writing a quiz in Computer Hardware and I have forgotten this shit from when I took my A+.
Anyone wanna lend a hand?

4. When the hard drive controller BIOS sends the logical geometry to the system BIOS but the system BIOS translates the geometry into a different set of parameters which are sent to the OS, the mode is ___________.
a). Normal
b). LBA
c). CHS
d). ECHS

9. When the hard drive BIOS communicates with the system BIOS in a method unrelated to cylinders, heads and sectors ________ mode is being used:
a). Normal
b). LBA
c). CHS
d). ECHS


Thanks guys :D

4. (d)
9. (b)

CHS - Cyclinder Head Sector (Same as normal)
"Enhanced Bios"
LBA - each sector is assigned a new sector number
ECHS - Logical Changes the geometry (BIOS Translation)

4. d
9. B (But I would argue since LBA adressing does look up the sector)

Yea some of the questions are REALLY bogus... But I agree with the choices and that question 9 is kinda shitty....

Thanks boys!

9 is either a trick question, confusing or both. :confused:

Believe me, I look at some of the test questions this instructor comes up with, the words are spelled wrong, the question makes no sense, or the answer is not listed in the multiple choice, and when I call him on it, he avoids the question cus HE DOESNT KNOW.... All his tests are "STOLEN" from other instructors online tests for the same type of course from across Canada and the USA....
It makes me mad... What a loser...

LOL
