Abstract
A data storage system includes a disc drive accessing system for accessing an entire storage capacity of a disk. The disk drive to be accessed is identified and address parameters for the disk are read from the disk by a host computer under instructions from a program in a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) extension memory located on an adapter connected between the host computer and the disk drive. The address parameters read from the disk are used by the host computer to access each and every address location on the disk drive. The BIOS extension memory is activated by the BIOS memory upon power-up of the host computer.
