IDE HDD Block Mode
Enabled The IDE HDD uses the block mode. The system BIOS
will check the hard disk drive for the maximum block size
the system can transfer. The block size will depend on the
type of hard disk drive.
Disabled The IDE HDD uses the standard mode.
IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO and IDE Secondary Master/Slave PIO
PIO means Programmed Input/Output. Rather than have the BIOS
issue a series of commands to effect a transfer to or from the disk
drive, PIO allows the BIOS to tell the controller what it wants and
then let the controller and the CPU perform the complete task by
themselves. Your system supports five modes, 0 (default) to 4, which
primarily differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select the
best available mode after checking your drive.
Auto The BIOS will automatically set the system according to your
hard disk drive’s timing.
0-4 You can select a mode that matches your hard disk drive’s
timing. Caution: Do not use the wrong setting or you will
have drive errors.
The settings on the screen are for reference only. Your version may not be
identical to this one.
