Drive and Boot Options
♦
Floppy Seek – [ Disabled ] or [Enabled]
♦
Hard disk Seek – [ Disabled ] or [Enabled]
♦
Floppy Swap – [ Disabled ] or [Enabled]
♦
Boot Method – [ Boot Sector ] or [Windows CE]
Boot Sector is the traditional method for booting the system. If [Windows CE] is selected, the
BIOS attempts to load the NK.BIN file from the root directory of each boot device.
♦
Primary IDE Cable – [ Auto ], [40 Wire], or [80 Wire]
Setting these fields to [Auto], causes the BIOS to query the attached IDE device to determine
the type of IDE cable used. If the BIOS detects [40 wire], or you select it, the BIOS will not
use UDMA-66 or faster mode when sending signals to/from the IDE device.
♦
Secondary IDE Cable – [ Auto ], [40 Wire], or [80 Wire]
♦
Seondary Master ATA mode – [ LBA ], [Physical], or [Phoenix]
This default option (LBA - Logical Block Address) could be used on any IDE device, including
CompactFlash cards. However, this option specifically allows you to select between the
existing formats used to format your CompactFlash card as the Secondary master device.
♦
Secondary Slave ATA mode – [ LBA ], [Physical], or [Phoenix]
This default option (LBA - Logical Block Address) could be used on any IDE device, including
CompactFlash cards. However, this option specifically allows you to select between the
existing formats used to format your CompactFlash card as the Secondary slave device.
