Parameters
Identifies the types of hard disk drives that have been
installed in your system. There are 46 predefined types
and a user-defined type.
Warning: The information entered in this Hard Disk
table must match the actual specifications of your
hard disk. Otherwise, your hard disk will not work
properly.
For IDE hard disk drives, set the entries to Auto under
TYPE and the system will configure the hard disk drives
automatically when it is switched on.
You can also use the IDE HDD Auto Detection option in
the Setup utility menu to do this.
If your hard disk type is listed among the 46 predefined
types, select the corresponding type for your hard disk.
Otherwise, select User under the TYPE column to define
the hard disk type manually. Enter the details of the hard
disk in the various columns, for example, SIZE and
CYLS, directly from the keyboard and press <Enter>. If
you are not sure of these details, refer to your hard disk
drive’s documentation.
If no hard disk drive has not been installed or if your hard
disk drive is a SCSI one, select None under TYPE and
press <Enter>.
