Block Mode (Technology) 
A setting in the computer BIOS relating to IDE hard drives. This setting determines the type of Logical Block Addressing that will be used to translate large hard drives properly to the computer BIOS. On most machines with up to date BIOSs, you can set this to "Auto" and have most hard drives recognized. If that doesn't work, you may need to tinker with other settings or use the software provided by the hard drive manufacturer for software translation.
