Hard Disk Setup
The BIOS supports various types for user settings, The BIOS supports <Pri Master>, <Pri
Slave>, <Sec Master> and <Sec Slave> so the user can install up to four hard disks.
For the master and slave jumpers, please refer to the hard disk’s installation
descriptions and the hard disk jumper settings.
You can select <AUTO> under the <TYPE> and <MODE> fields. This will enable auto
detection of your IDE drives during boot up. This will allow you to change your hard
drives (with the power off) and then power on without having to reconfigure your
hard drive type. If you use older hard disk drives, which do not support this feature,
then you must configure the hard disk drive in the standard method as described
above by the <USER> option.
Boot Sector Virus Protection
This option protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk against
accidental modifications. Any attempt to write to them will cause the system to
halt and display a warning message. If this occurs, you can either allow the
operation to continue or use a bootable virus-free floppy disk to reboot and
investigate your system. The default setting is <Disabled>. This setting is
recommended because it conflicts with new operating systems. Installation of new
operating system requires that you disable this to prevent write errors.
