The above example shows an 8455MB drive connected to the primary port on the motherboard and set
as a Master drive. The drive used in this example has a capacity of 16.8 GB. This BIOS will not
recognize capacities over 8.4 GB. Ontrack® Disk Manager will be needed to overcome the limitation.
(Go back to the section entitled Easy Installation.)
If the previous screen shows a drive other than the Deskstar 22GXP or 25GP or shows nothing at all, you
will need to go into the “IDE HDD Auto Detection”. You can get there from the main menu of the BIOS
setup.
