Logical block addressing (LBA) enables the systems to address the hard disk using logical block numbers to access the sectors, making it easier to access large disks. This method is used by the firmware, UEFI/BIOS, and the OS to address the sectors on a hard drive. Logical sector addressing (A) is an older method that is not commonly used today. Low level formatting (B) is done by the manufacturer and not by the users while high level formatting (D) is the process of preparing a disk for data storage after installation.
