Move the cursor to these fields via → or ← and select a hard disk drive type by pressing <PgUp> and <PgDn> to change
values. Match the parameters of the hard disk drive in the system to the list on page to find the correct hard drive type. The
hard disk drive manufacturer should provide a list of all hard disk drive parameters.
Choose Not Installed to configure SCSI drives.
Choose Type 47 to configure IDE drives and drives whose hard disk parameters do not match the parameters for the hard disk
drive in the system. Type 47 can be used for both hard disks C: and D:. The parameters for type 47 under Hard Disk C: and
Hard Disk D: can be different, permitting user-definable hard disk drives.
If you choose type 47, you must enter all hard drive paramaters. These parameters are described below.

Configuring ESDI Drives

Choose hard disk drive type 1 when configuring an ESDI drive to bypass the AMIBIOS and use the Adaptor ROM BIOS on the
ESDI controller.
If you select type 47 for an ESDI hard disk drive, AMIBIOS will only use the first 1,024 cylinders on the drive. Many ESDI
drives have more than 1,024 cylinders.
