A 160 GB IDE/SATA drive requires LBA48.

LBA48 is a "new" method to address sectors on drives > 137 GB. This must be 
supported by both the hardware and the driver. I don't know what is the 
status on Atari machines.

NB: For memories, when a hard disk manufacturer says a hard disk is 137 GB, 
it means 137,438,953,472 bytes. So the actual capacity is 128 GB, with 1 KB 
= 1024 bytes.
