Custom-Configuring Non-HP IDE Drives
If you have installed a non-HP IDE drive, SETUP detects and configures it automatically.
If the drive is not detected, there may be a hardware problem. If the drive uses the
integrated IDE interface, check that the interface is enabled.
If the drive is detected during the Power-On-Self-Test, but you cannot access it, you should
enter the details of the drive which are displayed in the SETUP program. You cannot enter
the drive's details if they are not displayed by the SETUP program. Refer to the section
Hardware Problems
in “Troubleshooting and Error Messages” for possible solutions.
To enter a non-HP IDE drive's details:
1. Highlight either the
Drive 1
field or the
Drive 2
field, and change the setting to
Custom
. Drive 1 is the primary drive and Drive 2 is the secondary drive.
2. Highlight each drive parameter field you want to change.
3. Press
[F7]
or
[F8]
to change the value, or type in the new value supplied with the drive.

Your IDE hard disk may be recognized but you can't access it with your operating

installed. (Refer to your operating system manuals.)
