ESC: Skip
Enter your choice, and press <Enter> to accept the parameters or press
<Esc> to abort. The parameters of the hard disk will be displayed in the
Standard CMOS Setup.
Hard Drive Mode
The system board supports three HDD modes: Normal, LBA and Large.
If your hard disk drive does not support LBA mode, the “LBA” option will
not be displayed. If your HDD has 1024 or fewer cylinders, the “Large”
option will not be displayed. If your hard drive is larger than 2.1GB, be
sure that your operating system supports it or you may need to create
separate partitions.
Normal Mode
The Normal mode is the generic access mode in which neither the
BIOS nor the IDE controller will make any transformations during hard-
drive access.
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.
