IDE HDD Auto-Detection
The “IDE HDD Auto-Detection” utility is a very useful tool especially when you do
not know the type of hard disk you are using. You can use this utility to detect the
correct disk type installed in the system automatically. The BIOS will
automatically detect the hard disk size and model during POST.
The AwardBIOS supports 3
HDD
modes:
NORMAL
,
LBA and LARGE modes.
The Generic access mode, neither BIOS nor IDE controller, will make
transformations during accessing.
