IDE Device Configuration
The system is shipped with the default as “Auto
Configured” selected in this submenu. The system then
automatically detects the hard disk type and sets the
remaining parameters.
If your IDE hard disk does not feature auto IDE type
detection or your IDE hard disk was formatted on another
system with parameters different than those reported by the
drive, you need to select “User Definable,” and set the
“Number of Cylinders,” “Number of Heads,” “Number of
Sectors,” and Maximum Capacity.”
