Disk overlay software such as the :ref:`settings/storage:Vision Systems LBA Enhancer` or *Ontrack Disk Manager* can work around BIOS limits and allow booting of larger IDE hard drives, with the same caveats as using such software on a real machine. The maximum supported disk image size for IDE or SCSI is 131071 MB.

The **Vision Systems LBA Enhancer** ROM can help work around the :ref:`hard disk size limits <hardware/diskimages:Hard disk size limits>` on many older machines. Hard disks up to 8055 MB (16367 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors) in size are supported; they must be manually configured to **8 cylinders, 8 heads and 8 sectors** on the machine's BIOS setup utility for the Enhancer to handle them.
