In other cases, they derive fro

Address Offset Mode operation3.1 Enable/Disable Address Offset ModeIn devices that support the Address Offset feature, the SET

28、FEATURES subcommand 09h Enable Address OffsetMode, offsets address Cylinder 0, Head 0, Sector 1, LBA 0, to the start of the non-volatile protected area establishedusing the SET MAX ADDRESS Command.The Address Offset condition is cleared by the SET FEATURES subcommand 89h Disable Address Offset Mode,

29、 ahardware reset or a power-on reset.If Reverting to Power on Defaults has been enabled by a SET FEATURES command, it is cleared by software resetas well.Upon entering the Address Offset mode the capacity of the drive returned in the Identify device data is the size of theformer protected area. A su

30、bsequent SET MAX ADDRESS command using the address returned by the READNATIVE MAX ADDRESS command allows access to the entire drive. Addresses wrap so the entire drive remainsaddressable (see figure 1).If a non-volatile reserved area has not been established before the device receives a SET FEATURES

31、 EnableAddress Offset Mode command, the command fails with Abort error status.The Disable Address Offset Mode removes the address offset and sets the size of the drive reported by theIDENTIFY DEVICE command back to the size specified in the last non-volatile SET MAX ADDRESS command.3.2 IDENTIFY DEVI

Booting from the reserved area using Address OffsetComputer systems perform initial code loading (booting) by reading from a predefined address on a disk drive. TheAddress Offset feature allows a second operating syst

37、em to be booted from the reserved area on a drive by changingthe location of LBA 0 instead of modifying the BIOS to begin the boot process from an alternate starting address.To boot an alternate operating system the BIOS:a) Issues a SET FEATURES Address Offset command to the disk driveb) Checks to s

38、ee that it the SET FEATURES Address Offset command was completed successfully.c) Executes the normal boot process.NCITS TR-27-2001Reaffirmed as INCITS TR-27-2001 (R2006)T13/1407DT Revision 5Page 6Annex A(informative)BibliographyAT Attachment Interface with Packet Interface Extensions (ATA/ATAPI-4), ANSI X3.317-1999IBM Personal Computer AT Technical Reference, IBM Boca Raton, FL, 1984IBM Personal System/2 and Personal Computer BIOS Interface Technical Reference, S68X-2341 and S10G-6467.NCITS TR-27-2001Reaffirmed as INCITS TR-27-2001 (R2006)
