IDE Configuration
Selects the configuration for the onboard parallel and serial IDE controllers.
Combined Mode
Option
Selects which IDE connectors are active. When set to P-ATA Primary, the
on-board parallel drive is set as the primary master, and the serial ATA
connector on the Rear I/O board is set to secondary master. The parallel
ATA connector on the Rear I/O is disabled in this mode. When set to S-ATA
primary, the serial ATA connector on the Rear I/O is set to primary master,
and the parallel ATA connector on the Rear I/O is set to the secondary
master/slave. The onboard parallel drive is disabled in this mode.
Hard Disk Write
Protect
When this item is enabled, the BIOS protects the IDE drives from write
accesses. This is only effective for operating systems that access the hard
drives using BIOS interfaces.
