Installed O/S (Advanced Menu)
This setting tells the computer what kind of operating system you’re using. Make
sure you choose the correct setting for your O/S in order to prevent system problems.
Note: If you select the Vista O/S then the SATA Mode Selection menu will become
available. If you are installing the Windows XP O/S make sure you have set the ap-
propriate operating system here in order to prevent system problems.
SATA Class ID (Advanced Menu)
This menu is only available if you select the Vista O/S as your operating system.
You can configure SATA (Serial ATA) control to operate in either IDE (native/
compatible) or AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) modes from this menu.
The SATA mode should be set to AHCI mode for this system (unless you are sure
your hard disk can only operate in IDE mode). If you are unsure of the mode your
hard disk supports contact your service center.
Legacy USB Support (Advanced Menu)
Use this menu item to enable/disable the support for Legacy Universal Serial Bus in
non-USB aware operating systems.
Boot-time Diagnostic Screen (Advanced Menu)
Use this menu item to enable/disable the Boot-time Diagnostic Screen.
SATA Class ID
If you have installed the
Windows Vista operat-
ing system with AHCI
mode enabled (default
setting), DO NOT dis-
able AHCI mode (if you
wish to disable AHCI
mode you will need to
reinstall the Windows
VIsta OS).
