Select one of these hard disk drive icons to configure the hard disk
drive named in the option. Select Auto from the drive parameters screen
to let AMIBIOS automatically configure the drive. A screen with a list of
drive parameters appears. Click on OK to configure the drive.
Drive Type
How to Configure
SCSI
Select Type. Select Not Installed in the drive parameter
screen. The SCSI drivers provided by the SCSI drive or
SCSI host adapter manufacturer should allow you to
configure the SCSI drive.
IDE
Select Detect IDE from the WINBIOS Setup main
screen to let AMIBIOS determine the parameters.
AMIBIOS automatically configures the correct IDE
parameters for all IDE hard disk drives attached to the
primary and secondary IDE channels.
To manually set IDE drive parameters:
Select LBA/Large Mode. Select On if the drive has a
capacity greater than 540 MB.
Select Block Mode. Select On to allow block mode data
transfers. Make sure the IDE drive supports block
mode. Data may be destroyed if block mode is selected
but the IDE drive does not support block mode.
Select 32–Bit Transfer. Select On to allow 32–bit data
transfers.
Select the PIO Mode. It is best to select Auto to allow
AMIBIOS to determine the PIO mode. If you select a
PIO mode that is not supported by the IDE drive, the
drive will not work properly. If you are absolutely
certain that you know the drive’s PIO mode, select PIO
mode 0 – 5, as appropriate.

AMIBIOS displays the drive parameters.
