In order to make the IDE hard disk known to the system, you need to tell the system
what kind of hard disk is connected to the mainboard by giving a set of hard disk
parameters. Sometimes it is not easy for users to find the proper parameters for their
IDE hard disk drive. In order to help users to find the parameters, the system BIOS
provides a convent way – the auto detection of IDE hard disk drive.
To run the auto detection program is extremely easy. Move the selection bar to “IDE
HDD AUTO DETECTION” and then press “Enter”, the system BIOS take over the job
and try to detect the type of IDE hard disk. If it succeeds, you will see a list of hard disk
with its related parameters. You may press on the “Y” key (or select one of the hard
disk type listed on the screen ). The system BIOS will transfer the parameters to the
corresponding fields in the STANDARD CMOS SETUP menu and you have completed
the IDE hard disk setup.
