What do you mean? How do you enable BIOS LBA? You need to check your motherboard manual or browse your BIOS settings to see if your Motherboard/BIOS supports it. If so and you don't already have it on, backup a disk you want to convert to LBA onto backup media, change the BIOS setting to LBA, reformat your disk, and then put your data back.
