the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk drive. You need to disable
this item when installing an operating system. We recommend that you enable
this item as soon as you have installed an operating system.
Note:
For complete protection against viruses, install virus software in your o p-
erating system and update the virus defin itions regularly.

cache memory to improve performance. Leave this item at the default value
for better performance.

cache memory to improve performance. Leave this item at the default value
for better performance.
