[Manual] and [CHS] Settings

Manually enter the number of cylinders, heads and sectors per track for the
drive. Refer to the drive documentation or the drive label for this information.

After entering the IDE hard disk drive information into BIOS, use a disk
utility, such as FDISK, to partition and format new IDE hard disk drives. This
is necessary so that you can write or read data from the hard disk. Make
sure to set the partition of the Primary IDE hard disk drives to active.

After making your selections on this sub-menu, press the key to
return to the Main menu. The Main menu displays the hard disk drive field
with your configuration.
