Parameters
Identifies the types of hard disk drives that have been installed in your
system. There are 46 predefined types and a user-defined type.
Warning: The information entered in this Hard Disk table must match
the actual specifications of your hard disk. Otherwise, your hard disk
will not work properly.
For IDE hard disk drives, set the entries to Auto under TYPE and the system
will configure the hard disk drives automatically when it is switched on.
You can also use the IDE HDD Auto Detection option in the Setup utility
menu to do this.
If your hard disk type is listed among the 46 predefined types, select the
corresponding type for your hard disk.
Otherwise, select User under the TYPE column to define the hard disk type
manually. Enter the details of the hard disk in the various columns, for
example, SIZE and CYLS, directly from the keyboard and press <Enter>. If
you are not sure of these details, refer to your hard disk drive’s
documentation.
If no hard disk drive has been installed or if your hard disk drive is a SCSI
one, select None under TYPE and press <Enter>.
