NOTE:
Operating
systems that bypass the
computer BIOS may not
obtain optimum hard
drive performance.
If You Have a Problem
If the computer generates a drive error message the first time you boot your
computer after you install an EIDE drive, your drive may not work with the
automatic drive-type detect feature. Press <Alt> <d> in any hard drive
field to set the hard drive autoconfiguration feature. During POST the
computer scans the IDE channels for supported devices and generates a
summary message. For example, if it finds a hard drive connected to the
Primary channel and a CD drive connected to the Secondary channel, it
generates the following message:
Performing automatic IDE configuration...
Primary Master: IDE Disk Drive
Secondary Master: CD-ROM Reader

setup. If no device is listed, it sets the device setting to
