ATA/IDE Configuration (Compatible)
The ATA/IDE option can be configured as “Disabled”, “Compatible (default)” and
“Enhanced” in the BIOS configuration. Windows* 98SE and Windows* Me operating
systems do not support Enhanced mode IDE/Serial ATA resources for more than four
devices. If the ATA/IDE option is set to Enhanced mode, the operating installation will
not be able to recognize the drive, and the installation will fail. Before installing 98SE
or Me, the ATA/IDE configuration must be changed from Enhanced to Legacy mode.
