first IDE drive (drive C). Press
types with their respective values. Select the type that corresponds to
your drive. Follow the same procedure for the other drives, if any.
Choose
None
if you do not have other drives.
Selecting the "Auto" Option
If you do not know the exact type of your IDE drive, select the option
Auto
.
During the power-on self-test (POST), when the system
performs self-testing and self-initialization before loading the
operating system and applications, the BIOS utility automatically
determines your IDE drive type. You can see the drive type and its
values when you enter the BIOS Utility.
IDE Drive 0 (xx MB) ... [Auto]
If desired, you can save the values under the option
IDE Drive 0 (xx MB) ... [User]
The next time you boot the system, the BIOS utility does not have to
auto-configure your IDE drive as it detects the saved disk information
during POST.
We recommend that you copy the IDE disk
drive values and keep them in a safe place in
case you have to reconfigure the disk in the
future.
Follow the same procedure to auto-configure other IDE drives.
