Primary IDE
The Primary IDE Master and Slave settings control the
system’s hard disk drive.
The computer comes with the hard disk drive (drive C:)
configured as the “Primary IDE Master.” The system can
support a maximum of two IDE drives (master and slave)
on the primary IDE channel. Menu choices include:
Primary Master
Primary Slave.
The default setting for existing installed Master devices is
“Auto,” meaning that the system automatically detects the
hard disk type and sets the remaining parameters. The
default setting for existing installed Slave devices is
“None.”
If a hard disk drive that does not feature auto IDE type
detection has been installed (or the IDE hard disk was
formatted on another system with parameters different than
those reported by the drive), enter a parameter for each of
the following fields.
