These categories identify the types of 2 channels that have been

installed in the computer.  There are 45 pre-defined types and 4 user defin-
able types for Enhanced IDE BIOS.  Type 1 to Type 45 are pre-defined.  Type
User is user-definable.

Press PgUp/<+> or PgDn/<-> to select a numbered hard disk type or

type the number and press <Enter>.    Note that the specifications of your
drive must match with the drive table.  The hard disk will not work properly if
you enter improper information for this category.  If your hard disk drive
type is not matched or listed, you can use Type User to define your own
drive type manually.

If you select Type User, related information is asked to be entered to

the following items.  Enter the information directly from the keyboard and
press <Enter>.  This information should be provided in the documentation
from your hard disk vendor or the system manufacturer.
