TYPE
[USER]:
It allows user to manually enter the number of cylinders, heads, and
sectors per track for the drive.
Before attempting to configure a hard disk drive, make sure
you have the correct configuration information supplied by
the drive manufacturer. Incorrect settings may cause the
system to fail to recognize the installed hard disk.
[Auto]:
Select [Auto] to automatically detect hard disk drive. If automatic
detection is successful, BIOS Setup automatically fills in the correct
values for the remaining fields on this sub-menu. If automatic
detection fails, this may due to the hard disk is too old or too new. If
the hard disk was already formatted on an older system, BIOS Setup
may detect incorrect parameters. In these cases, select [User] to
manually enter the IDE hard disk drive parameters.
After entering the hard disk information into BIOS, use a disk
utility, such as FDISK, to partition and format new IDE hard
disk drives. This is necessary so that you can write or read
data from the hard disk. Make sure to set the partition of the
Primary IDE hard disk drives to active.
