systems do not support Enhanced mode IDE/Serial ATA resources for more than four
devices. If the ATA/IDE option is set to Enhanced mode, the operating installation will
not be able to recognize the drive, and the installation will fail. Before installing 98SE
or Me, the ATA/IDE configuration must be changed from Enhanced to Compatible
mode
