Detect IDE

If an IDE-type hard disk drive, a CD/DVD-ROM drive, or a ATAPI removable drive is connected
to the primary or secondary IDE controller, this option allows for automatic detection of the hard
disk drive or CD/DVD-ROM drive type. Once SETUP detects the type of the hard disk or CD/
DVD-ROM drive installed, it will display the relative information.
After SETUP detects all IDE drives, the hard disk drive type will be forced to be User and the
CD/DVD-ROM drive type will be forced to be CDROM.
