4-10 IDE HDD Auto Detection
The “IIDE HDD auto detection” utility is a very useful tool, especially when you
do not know which kind of hard disk type you are using. You can use this utility to
detect the correct disk type installed in the system automatically. But now you
can set HARD DISK TYPE to Auto in the STANDARD CMOS SETUP. You don’t
need the “IIDE HDD AUTO DETECTION” utility. The BIOS will Auto-detect the
hard disk size and model on display during POST.
