POST to query the hard disk for its parameters whenever
the POST runs.
Note
: If you set a hard disk to “Auto”, but no hard disk is
actually present, the BIOS queries the (non-existent) hard
disk until it times out, slightly increasing the duration of
the POST.
•
None
: Select this option if yours is not an IDE hard disk
drive.
•
User
: Select this option if you have an IDE disk but
cannot employ the “Autotype” feature. Then enter the
correct drive values for cylinders, heads, sectors/track, and
write precompensation.

drive.
