IDE HDD Auto Detection
If your system has an IDE hard drive, you can use this utility to
detect its parameters and enter them into the Standard CMOS Setup
automatically.
This utility will detect as many as four IDE drives if your system
configuration supports that many In sequence, a set of parameters
for each drive will appear in the box. To accept the entries displayed
press the Y key, to skip to the next drive, press the N key. If you ac­
cept the values, the parameters will appear listed beside the drive
letter on the screen and the next letter, without parameters will ap­
pear and the program will attempt to detect parameters for the next
drive. If you press the N key to skip rather than accept a set of pa­
rameters, zeros are entered after that drive letter.
Remember, if you use another IDE controller that does not have
Enhanced IDE support for four devices, you can only install two IDE
hard disk drives. Your IDE controller must support Enhanced IDE
features in order to use Drive E: and Drive F:. The on-board PCI IDE
controller supports Enhanced IDE and has two connectors that sup­
port a total of four IDE devices. If you want to use another PCI IDE
controller, you must disable the onboard PCI IDE controller by set­
ting the "Internal PCI/IDE" line in the PCI/PNP & Onboard I/O
Setup screen to "Disabled".
When you are finished, any entries you accepted are automati­
cally entered on the line for that drive in the Standard CMOS Setup.
Any entries you skipped are ignored and nothing is entered for that
drive in Standard CMOS Setup.
