None indicates there is no removable media support whether the
drive is selected in BBS as being first, or first in scan order in
non-BBS.
Boot Drive Only provides removable media support for a removable
hard drive if it is first in the scan order.
With Media Installed provides removable media support wherever
the drive(s) actually resides.
One of these choices can be selected by highlighting it and pressing
Enter.
CHS Mapping – This option defines the cylinder head sector (CHS)
values that will be mapped onto a disk without pre-existing partitioning
information. SCSI Plug and Play Mapping is the default value.
To support interchange with noncompatible systems, there is another
option that can be selected by choosing CHS Mapping and then moving
the cursor to Alternate CHS Mapping.
Note:
Neither of these options will have any affect after the disk
has been partitioned with the FDISK command.
To remove partitioning, two options are available:
Reformat the disk using the Format Device option. See
3.2.3, "Device Selections Menu,"
Use the FDISK/MBR command at the C:\ prompt, where MBR
represents master boot record.
Important:
Reformatting the disk or using FDISK/MBR erases all
partitioning and data that exists. Be careful when using
either the Format utility or the FDISK/MBR command that
you target the correct disk.
After clearing the partitions and data, it is necessary to
reboot and clear memory or the old partitioning data will be
reused, thus nullifying the previous operation.
Spinup Delay (seconds) – This option allows you to stagger spinups for
a longer period of time to balance the total current load. The default
value is 2 seconds with choices between 1 and 10 seconds.
