IDE HDD Auto-Detection : Press <Enter> while this item is
highlighted if you want the Setup Utility to automatically detect and
configure a hard disk drive on the IDE channel.
If your system has an IDE hard drive, you can use this utility to
detect its parameters and enter them into the Standard CMOS Setup
automatically
If the auto-detected parameters displayed do not match the ones
that should be used for your hard drive, do not accept them. Press
the
<N> key to reject the values and enter the correct ones manually
in the Standard CMOS Setup screen.
Note:
If you are setting up a new hard disk drive that supports LBA
mode, more than one line will appear in the parameter box.
Choose the line that lists LBA for an LBA drive.
Do not choose “Large” or “Normal” if the hard disk drive is already
fully formatted when you installed it. Select the mode that was used
to format it.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave : If you leave this item
at “Auto,” the system will automatically detect and configure any
IDE devices it finds. If it fails to find a hard disk, change the value to
“Manual” and then manually configure the drive by entering the
characteristics of the drive in the items below (Capacity, Cylinder,
Head, Precomp, etc.). Refer to your drive’s documentation or look
on the drive if you need to obtain this information. If no device is
installed, change the value to “None.”
Access Mode : This item defines some special ways that can be
used to access IDE hard disks such as LBA (Large Block
Addressing). Leave this value at “Auto” and the system will
automatically decide the fastest way to access the hard disk drive.
