The "IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION" utility is a very useful tool especially when you do
not know which kind of hard disk type you are using. You can use this utility to detect
the correct disk type installed in the system automatically. But now you can set HARD
DISK TYPE to Auto in the STANDARD CMOS SETUP. You do not need the "IDE
HDD AUTO DETECTION" utility. The BIOS will Auto-detect the hard disk size and
model on display during POST.
