Figure 2-15 Submenu “Hard Disk Drive IDE Adapter” (RI45 example)
The system parameters you can select in this submenu are usually stored on
the corresponding IDE drive and are read out of the IDE drive and entered in
the screen form after you have selected the option Autotype Hard Disk.
CD-ROM drives with IDE interface (ATAPI) are not entered in this
option.
If the option Autotype Hard Disk has been selected for a non-existent hard
disk, the procedure is canceled after max. 5 minutes because of timeout. The
current settings remain unchanged. It is therefore useful only to execute an
Autotype for existing system hard disks.
In the standard configuration of your PC, only one hard disk drive connected
to IDE adapter 0 is set as master. The setting of the option Type for all other
hard disks is [none].
In some cases it might be necessary to modify the suggested hard disk
parameters. Select the corresponding menu option for this purpose and
choose the desired value using the [+] and [–] keys. Enter [none] as Type if
no IDE hard disk or IDE CD-ROM has been installed. Enter a number from 1
to 39 to use a predefined hard disk type.
For user-defined hard disk types enter “user” and set the parameters for the
options Cylinders, Heads, Sectors/Track, WritePrecomp.
