The next time you boot the system, the BIOS utility does not have to auto-
configure your hard disk as it detects the saved disk information during POST.
Follow the same procedure to auto-configure other IDE hard disks.
There are cases when you cannot use the option Auto, instead you have to select
User. Choose the User option when you have installed an IDE fixed disk that
was previously formatted but does not use the disk native parameters or
structure, that is, the disk type may be in the hard disk types list but the number
of cylinders, heads, and sectors differ.
Follow these steps to configure a hard disk with the User option:
1. Highlight an hard disk parameter.
2. Select the option User and press
.
3. Type in the number of cylinders, heads, and sectors of the drive under the
appropriate columns.
4. Choose Yes when asked if you want to save CMOS data.
