IDE Controller Configures integrated primary and secondary IDE con-
trollers and detects types of drives attached to them.
If set to Primary, Secondary, or Both, the designated
controller(s) are enabled, and the types of drives
attached appear. If this option is set to either Primary
or Secondary, the other controller is not enabled
and the IRQ it normally uses becomes available. If set
to Disabled, the system cannot detect any drives
attached to the controllers and displays None for all
four IDE drive categories.
Primary IDE

interface, usually the boot hard-disk drive. See the
next subsection, “Primary IDE Master Submenu.”

EIDE interface, usually a second hard-disk drive. The
format of this submenu is the same as the one
described in the next subsection, “Primary IDE Mas-
ter Submenu.”
Secondary IDE

EIDE interface, usually a CD-ROM or tape drive. The
format of this submenu is the same as the one

ter Submenu.”

Slave Identifies the second drive attached to the secondary
EIDE interface, usually a CD-ROM or tape drive. The
