The above example shows the DTTA drive connected to the “Primary” port on the motherboard and set as a
“Master” drive. It also shows the capacity of the drive as 8455 MB. The drive used in this example has a
capacity of 16.8 GB. This BIOS will not recognize capacities over 8.4 GB. Ontrack®’s Disk Manger will be
needed to overcome the limitation. (Go back to Easy Installation.)
If the previous screen shows something other than what you have 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.
