IDE HDD Block Mode
This field allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to
transfer data to and from your hard disk drive.
IDE Primary Master/Slave PIO And Secondary Master/Slave PIO
These fields allow your system hard disk controller to work faster.
Rather than have the BIOS issue a series of commands that transfer to
or from the disk drive, PIO (Programmed Input/Output) allows the
BIOS to communicate with controller and CPU directly. This way will
make the work more efficiently.
The system supports five modes, numbered from 0 (default) to 4, which
primarily differ in timing. When Auto is selected, the BIOS will select
the best available mode.
