These categories allow you to enter the appropriate specifications for
the type of hard disk drive(s) installed in your system. There are 45
predefined types and 4 user definable types for IDE hard drives. Type 1
to Type 45 are predefined. Type “User” is user-definable.

Press <PgUp> or <PgDn> to select a numbered hard disk type or type
the number and press <Enter>. The hard disk will not work properly if
you enter improper information for this category. You can use "User"
type to define your own drive type manually.

If you select "User" type, you will need to know the information listed
below. Enter the information and press <Enter>. This information should
be included in the documentation from your hard disk vendor or the
system manufacturer.
