This utility can automatically detect IDE hard disk type and parameters. The detection
process take about 5 seconds for each physical drive. After the utility detects the
disk drive, type Y and press [Enter] to automatically load the parameters in the Hard

your hard drive(s), return to the Standard CMOS menu to check your settings.

If you select this and type Y (for yes) followed by the [Enter] key, the values
entered in the setup utilities will be recorded in the CMOS memory of the BIOS
chip.
3-11 Exit Without Saving
Selecting this option and pressing Y followed by the [Enter] key lets you exit the
Setup program without recording any new values or changing old ones.
