Auto

select User. Select None if no HDD is connected to the
system.
The IDE CDROM is always automatically detected.

you use the "IDE HDD Auto Detection" to enter
the drive specifications automatically. See the

Mode
disk with a capacity of more than 528MB. This is made

LBA
of current IDE hard disk on the market because of its
Large

if a HDD is formatted with LBA On, it will not be able to boot
