Onboard IDE-1 Controller:
The onboard IDE 1 controller can be set as Enabled or Disabled. The default setting is
Enabled . The integrated peripheral controller contains an IDE interface with support for two
IDE channels. If you choose Disabled , it will effect the settings of four items not available.
For example, if you disabled the Onboard IDE-1 Controller , you will also disable the
Master/Slave Drive PIO Mode and Master/Slave Drive Ultra DMA .

through 4 provide successively increased performance. In Auto mode (default setting), the
system automatically determines the best mode for each device.
