IDE HDD Block Mode
This allows your hard disk controller to use the fast block mode to
transfer data to and from your hard disk drive (HDD).
The options are: Enabled (Default), Disabled.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave PIO
IDE hard disk drive controllers can support up to separate hard drives.
These drives have a master/slave relationship which is determined by
the cabling configuration used to attach them to the controller. Your
system supports two IDE controllers - a primary and a secondary - so
you have the ability to install up to four separate hard disks.
