This item lets you select the IDE hard disk parameters that your system sup-
ports. These parameters are Size, Number of Cylinder, Number of Head, Start
Cylinder for Pre-compensation, Cylinder number of Head Landing Zone and
Number of Sector per Track. The default setting is Auto, which enables BIOS
