IDE HDD Auto Detection
This “
IDE HDD Auto Detection
” option detects the parameters of an IDE hard disk drive,
and automatically enters them into the Standard CMOS Setup screen.
Up to four IDE drives can be detected, with parameters for each listed inside the box. To
accept the optimal entries, press <Y> or else select from the numbers displayed under the
OPTIONS field (2, 1, 3 in this case); to skip to the next drive, press <N>. If you accept the
values, the parameters will appear listed beside the drive letter on the screen. The process
then proceeds to the next drive letter. Pressing <N> to skip rather than to accept a set of
parameters causes the program to enter zeros after that drive letter.
Remember that if you are using another IDE controller that does not feature Enhanced IDE
support for four devices, you can only install two IDE hard disk drives. Your IDE controller
must support the Enhanced IDE features in order to use Drive E and Drive F. The onboard
PCI IDE controller supports Enhanced IDE, with two connectors for connecting up to four IDE
devices. IF you want to use another controller that supports four drives, you must disable
the onboard IDE controller in the Chipset Features Setup screen.
When auto-detection is completed, the program automatically enters all entries you ac-
cepted on the field for that drive in the Standard CMOS Setup screen. Skipped entries are
ignored and are not entered in the screen.
If you are auto-detecting a hard disk that supports the LBA mode, three lines will appear in
the parameter box. Choose the line that lists LBA for an LBA drive. Do not select Large or
Normal.
