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 ГОЕ
hard disk drives. Your ГОЕ controller must support Enhanced ГОЕ
features in order to use Drive E: and Drive F:. The onboard PCI ГОЕ
controller supports Enhanced ГОЕ and has two connectors that sup­
port a total of four IDE devices.
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.
Note; If you are setting up a hard disk that supports LBA mode,
three lines will appear in the parameter box. Choose the line that lists
LBA for an LBA drive. Do not choose Large or Normal.
