Specifies the size of your hard disk, in MB
Hard Disk LBA
When set to Auto, the BIOS utility
Mode *
automatically detects if the installed hard
disk supports the function. If supported, it
allows you to use a hard disk with a
capacity of more than 528 MB. This is made
possible through the Logical Block Address
(LBA) mode translation. However, this
enhanced IDE feature works only under
DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows
98, Windows NT 3.5 and above, and
Windows 2000. Other operating systems
require this parameter to be set to
Disabled.
Hard Disk
Enhances disk performance depending on
Block Mode *
the hard disk in use. If you set this
parameter to Auto, the BIOS utility
automatically detects if the installed hard
disk drive suports the Block Mode function.
If supported, it allows data transfer in
blocks (multiple sectors) at a rate of
256 bytes per cycle.
Hard Disk
Improves system performance by allowing
32-bit Access *
the use of the 32-bit hard disk access. This
enhanced IDE feature works only under
DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95, Windows
98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and Novell
Netware. If your software or hard disk
does not support this function, set this
parameter to Disabled.
Advanced PIO
When set to Auto, the BIOS utility
Mode *
automatically detects if the installed hard
disk supports the function. If supported, it
allows for faster data recovery and read/
write timing that reduces hard disk activity
time. This results in better hard disk
performance. To disregard the feature,
change the setting to Disabled.
