Large Disk Access Mode

I have a 1TB drive in my laptop (absolutely uneccesary, the only thing I have is chrome).

 

I have to have Large Disk Access Mode set to "Other" even though I'm using Windows.

 

To avoid having to go through updates for Windows 7, I cloned my 1TB to a 160GB drive. In order to change from IDE to AHCI for the new laptop, I needed to edit the registry.

 

When in "Other" LDAM, my laptop throws "A Disk Read Error Occured. Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart."

 

So I change LDAM to "DOS."

 

My question is, why do I need to do this? LDAM "Other" is usually reserved for Linux, and "DOS" is for Windows.
