3.11 IDE HDD Auto Detection
If your system has an IDE hard drive, you can use this function to detect its
parameters and enter them into the “Standard CMOS Setup” automatically.
This routine only detects one set of parameters. If your hard disk is formatted
using different parameters than those detected, you have to enter the parameters
manually. If the parameters listed do not match the ones used to format the disk,
the information on that disk will not be accessible. If the auto-detected
parameters displayed do not match those that are used for your drive, ignore
them. Type N to reject the values and enter the correct ones manually from the
Standard CMOS Setup screen.
