HARD DISKS
The BIOS supports up to four IDE drives. This section does not
show information about other IDE devices, such as a CD-ROM
drive, or about other hard drive types, such as SCSI drives.
NOTE: We recommend that you select type AUTO for all drives.
The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal
operating mode of almost all IDE hard drives. When you select
type AUTO for a hard drive, the BIOS detects its specifications
If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of
selecting the drive type are available:
1.NONE- No drive type to be selected
2.Manual-This will allow you to manually set the drive type you are
using in your system. (See Below)
ACCESS Mode
: Auto, Large, CHS or LBA
- Auto
: The BIOS automatically determines the optimal mode.
- CHS
: This allows the user to enter their own hardware
values
- Large
: For drives that do not support LBA and have more
than 1024 cylinders.
- LBA
(Logical Block Addressing): During drive access, the IDE
controller transforms the data ad dress described by sector, head,
and cylinder number into a physical block address, significantly
improving data transfer rates. For drives with greater than 1024
cylinders.
