NOTE: Before attempting to configure a hard disk drive, make sure you have
the configuration information supplied by the manufacturer of the drive. Incor-
rect settings may cause your system to not recognize the installed hard disk. To
allow the BIOS to detect the drive type automatically, select [Auto].
Type [Auto]
Select [Auto] to automatically detect an IDE hard disk drive. If automatic detec-
tion is successful, the correct values will be filled in for the remaining fields on
this sub-menu. If automatic detection fails, your hard disk drive may be too old or
too new. You can try updating your BIOS or enter the IDE hard disk drive param-
eters manually.
NOTE: After the IDE hard disk drive information has been entered into BIOS,
new IDE hard disk drives must be partitioned (such as with FDISK) and then
formatted before data can be read from and write on. Primary IDE hard disk
drives must have its partition set to active (also possible with FDISK).
