SATA Mode (Advanced Menu)

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 or Power-On
Self Test (see

“The Power-On Self Test (POST)” on page 5 - 2

).

Legacy OS Boot: (Advanced Menu)

Enable this item to support only system boot from the Legacy OS (e.g Windows Vis-
ta
). If disabled the system will attempt to boot from the EFI (Extensible Firmware
Interface) before the Legacy OS.

If you have installed the
