and sectors per track for the drive.
Before attempting to configure a hard disk drive, make sure you
have the correct configuration information supplied by the drive
manufacturer. Incorrect settings may cause the system to fail
to recognize the installed hard disk.
[Auto]: Select [Auto] to automatically detect hard disk drive. If auto-
detection is successful, the BIOS Setup automatically fills in the
correct values for the remaining fields on this sub-menu. If the auto-
detection fails, it may due to that the hard disk is too old or too new.
If the hard disk was already formatted on an older system, the BIOS
Setup may detect incorrect parameters. In these cases, select [User]
to manually enter the IDE hard disk drive parameters.
After entering the hard disk information into BIOS, use a disk utility,
such as FDISK, to partition and format the new IDE hard disk
drives. This is necessary so that you can write the data into or
read the data from the installed hard disk. Please make sure to set
the partition of the Primary IDE hard disk drives to make them
active.
