Select this option to manually configure the Serial ATA
drives in the “Serial ATA Port1 Mode” and “Serial ATA

Serial ATA Port1 Mode and Serial ATA Port2 Mode
These fields are used to select the master/slave mode of the
serial ATA drives. When you select Primary Master, Primary Slave,
Secondary Master or Secondary Slave, make sure they do not
conflict with the settings of the IDE hard drives.
When Logical Primar y is selected, the other por t will
automatically be set to Logical Secondary and vice versa. Logical
Primary or Logical Secondary sets the drives to master mode.
Since both drives are in master mode, the system will not be
able to detect the IDE drives.

to Enabled.
