IDE HDD Auto Detection

This option detects the hard disk parameters for the hard
disk drives installed in your system. Highlight this
option and press <Enter>. A screen similar to the one
below will appear.

The screen displays the parameters detected and allows
you to accept or reject the parameters. Type “Y” and
press <Enter> to accept the parameters or press <Esc>
to abort. If you select “Y”, the parameters of the hard
disk will be displayed in the Standard CMOS Setup.
