IDD HDD Auto-Detection
If you want the Setup Utility to automatically detect and configure a hard disk drive
on the IDE channel, press <
Enter > while this item is highlighted.
If your system has an IDE hard drive, you can use this utility to detect its param-
eters and enter them into the Standard CMOS Setup automatically.
If the auto-detected parameters displayed do not match the ones that should be
used for your hard drive, do not accept them. Press the <
N > key to reject the
values and enter the correct ones manually in the Standard CMOS Setup screen.
(
Note: If you are setting up a new hard disk drive that supports LBA mode, more
than one line will appear in the parameter box. Choose the line that lists LBA for an
LBA drive.)
Do not choose
Large or Normal if the hard disk drive is already fully formatted
when you installed it. Select the mode that was used to format it.

the items below:
