IMPORTANT: If your hard disk was already formatted on an older previous
system, incorrect parameters may be detected. You will need to enter the correct
parameters manually or use low-level format if you do not need the data stored
on the hard disk. If the parameters listed differ from the ones used when the disk
was formatted, the disk will not be readable. If the auto-detected parameters do
not match the ones that should be used for your disk, you should enter the correct
ones manually by setting [User Type HDD].
