Are you saying the motherboard BIOS hard drive setup has no setting for 
"LBA"?  How old is the BIOS?

If your BIOS is an older version and does not support LBA, you could use 
a drive overlay.  Probably the easiest one to use for most drives is 
Disk Manager from Ontrack.  Go to their WEBsite and read up.

Another solution is to purchase a controller with an on board BIOS.  A 
good one can be purchased from Tekram or Promise.  But we're talking 
here about spending money that could be used to upgrade the MB.
