Some older drives may not support the auto-sensing feature.
If the drive parameters sensed by the computer do not match
your drive, define your own drive type or reformat the disk.
You may also need to set the remaining options on the screen.
See the next section for instructions on defining your own drive
type.
The
Multi-Sector Transfers
option sets the number of
sectors per block that the hard disk uses in multiple sector
transfers. The auto-sensing feature sets this option
appropriately for your drive.
The
LBA Mode Control
option enables or disables ISA
logical block address control mode for each drive. Select
Enabled
if your drive is larger than 528MB and supports LBA
mode. If you have a large drive that does not support LBA
mode, you may not be able to use the drive’s full capacity. The
auto-sensing feature sets this option appropriately for your
drive.
The
32 Bit I/O
option enables the 32-bit I/O transfer rate
for data read from the disk. The auto-sensing feature sets this
option appropriately for your drive.
Defining your own drive type
If the parameters for your hard disk are not detected by the
auto-sensing feature, you must define your own drive type
To define your own drive type, follow these steps:
1. Move the cursor to
Type
and select User.
2.
Type the values in each field that are appropriate for your
hard disk drive.
3.
When you leave SETUP, make sure you save your changes.
