IDE Adapter Sub-menus
There are a total of two IDE adapter sub-menus for the primary hard disk controller,
in a master and slave drive configuration. The EPC-5A hard disk is controlled by the
settings for IDE Adapter 0 Master. To see or reconfigure the detailed characteristics
of the primary hard disk, select the IDE Adapter 0 Master item from the Main BIOS
Setup. The IDE Adapter 0 Master sub-menu is shown below.

Autotype Fixed Disk
Use this option when setting up new disks. This option allows the BIOS to determine
the proper settings of the disk based on information on the disk, which is detected by
the EPC-5A BIOS for drives that comply with ANSI specifications. Press the Enter
key to invoke this function.
Existing (formatted) disks must be set up using the same parameters that were used
originally when the disk was formatted. You must enter the specific cylinder, head,
and sector information. This information is usually listed on the label attached to the
drive at the factory. Select the “User” type described below to describe an existing
formatted disk.
