IDD HDD Auto Detection

Press <Enter> while this item is highlighted if you want the Setup Utility to automatically detect and

configure a hard disk drive on the IDE channel.

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.

If the auto-detected parameters displayed do not match the one that should be used for your hard drive,

do not accept them. Press key to reject the values and enter the correct one manually in the Stan-

dard CMOS Setup screen.

Note: If you are setting up a new hard disk drive that supports LBA mode, more than one line will appear in the

parameter box. Choose the line that lists LBA for an LBA drive.

Do not choose Large or Normal if the hard disk drive is already fully formatted when you installed it. Select

the mode that was used to format it.

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave

If you leave this item at Auto, the system will automatically detect and configure any IDE devices it finds. If

it fails to find a hard disk, change the value to Manual and then manually configure the drive by entering the

characteristics of the drive in the items below:

Capacity

Approximate hard disk drive capacity

Cylinder

Number of cylinders

Head

Number of heads

Precomp

Write pre-compensation cylinder

Landing Zone

Refer to your drive’s documentation or look on the drive if you need to obtain this information. If no device is

installed, change the value to None.

Access Mode

This item defines some special ways that can be used to access IDE hard disks such as LBA (Logical

Block Addressing). Leave this value at Auto and the system will automatically decide the fastest way to

access the hard disk drive.

Press <Esc> to close the IDE device submenu and return to the Standard CMOS Features page.
