LBA "Logical Block Address", is the feature in the bios that is responsible for the addressing large hard drives.

you should go back into your bios and make sure this options is chosen as the choice for your hard drive.

1 restart your computer

2 during the initialization press the delete button to get into the bios

3 once in side scroll down until your prompted with the hard drive option

if you are not comfortable with this you should contact your friend so that he or she can assist you

good luck
