IDD HDD Auto Detection
Press <Enter> while this item is highlighted if you want the Setup Utility to automatically detect and configure
a hard disk drive on the IDE channel.
If your system has an IDE hard drive, you can use this utility to detect its parameters and enter them into the
Standard CMOS Setup automatically.
If the auto-detected parameters displayed do not match the one that should be used for your hard drive, do
not accept them. Press <N> key to reject the values and enter the correct one manually in the Standard
CMOS Setup screen.
Note: If you are setting up a new hard disk drive that supports LBA mode, more than one line will appear in
the parameter box. Choose the line that lists LBA for an LBA drive.
Do not choose Large or Normal if the hard disk drive is already fully formatted when you installed it. Select the
mode that was used to format it.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave
If you leave this item at Auto, the system will automatically detect and configure any IDE devices it finds. If it
fails to find a hard disk, change the value to Manual and then manually configure the drive by entering the
characteristics of the drive in the items below:
Capacity
Cylinder
Head
Precomp
Landing Zone
Sector
Refer to your drive's documentation or look on the drive if you need to obtain this information. If no device is
installed, change the value to None.
