By selecting Auto, the drive itself provides the correct device information. This
process is called autotyping. By selecting User, you must specify various device
characteristics (such as multi-sector transfers, LBA mode control, and transfer
mode). The details of these characteristics are specified later in this section.
Options:
- Auto (default)
- None
- ATAPI Removable
- CD-ROM
- IDE Removable
- Other ATAPI
- User
Important
It is strongly recommended that you choose the Auto setting when configuring
your IDE devices. This prevents various drive errors caused by incorrect BIOS
settings.
