SATA Mode Selection (Advanced Menu)
You may enable/disable SATA RAID or AHCI mode for your hard disks, however
you should only enable/disable SATA RAID or AHCI BEFORE installing an
operating system, and after you have backed up all necessary files and data (see
sidebar). See
“Setting Up SATA RAID Mode” on page 7 - 2 for details.
Legacy USB Support: (Advanced Menu)
Choose “Enabled” if you intend to use USB devices in systems which do not nor-
mally support USB functionality (e.g. DOS). The default setting is “Enabled” and
does not need to be changed if you intend to use your USB devices in Windows.
Boot-time Diagnostic Screen: (Advanced Menu)
Use this menu item to enable/disable the Boot-time Diagnostic Screen. Enable this
item to display the POST screen (see
“The Power-On Self Test (POST)” on page 5
- 2 ).
Reset Configuration Data (Advanced Menu)
This item is set to No as default. You can change the setting to Yes if you have in-
stalled a new add-on which has reconfigured the system, resulting in such a serious
system conflict that the operating system is unable to boot.

able the set mode you
will need to reinstall the
