If the selected translation mode is not compatible with the translation mode that was active when the disk was partitioned and formatted, the data on the disk will be inaccessible.

These fields are only visible and changeable when the drive translation mode is set to User. Options Removable Media Boot Enables/disables ability to boot the system from removable media.
