Advanced PIO Mode
When set to Auto, the BIOS utility automatically detects if the installed hard disk
supports the function. If supported, it allows for faster data recovery and
read/write timing that reduces hard disk activity time. This results in better hard
disk performance. To disregard the feature, change the setting to Disabled
.
The
default setting is Auto.
Hard Disk 32-bit Access
Enabling this parameter improves system performance by allowing the use of the
32-bit hard disk access. This enhanced IDE feature works only under DOS,
Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows NT, and Novell NetWare. If your software
or hard disk does not support this function, set this parameter to Disabled. The
default setting is Enabled.
DMA Transfer Mode
The Ultra DMA and Multi-DMA modes enhance hard disk performance by
increasing the transfer rate. However, besides enabling these features in the BIOS
Setup, both the Ultra DMA and Multi-DMA modes require the DMA driver to be
loaded. By setting this parameter to Auto, BIOS automatically sets the
appropriate DMA mode for your hard disk. The default setting is Auto.
