Reset Configuration Data
If you install a new piece of hardware or modify your computer's hardware
configuration, the BIOS will automatically detect the changes and reconfigure the
ESCD (Extended SystemConfiguration Data). Therefore, there is usually no need to
manually force the BIOS to reconfigure the ESCD.
However, sometimes, the BIOS may not be able to detect the hardware changes. A
serious resource conflict may occur and the operating system may not even boot as
a result. This is where the Reset Configuration Data BIOS feature comes in.
This BIOS feature allows you to manually force the BIOS to clear the previously
saved ESCD data and reconfigure the settings. All you need to do is enable this
BIOS feature and then reboot your computer. The new ESCD should resolve the
conflict and allow the operating system to load normally.
Please note that the BIOS will automatically reset it to the default setting of No after
reconfiguring the new ESCD. So, there is no need for you to manually disable this
feature after rebooting.
Options: Yes / No
Large Disk Access Mode
This option determines whether a hard drive with more than 1024 cylinders, more
than 16 heads and or more than 64 tracks per sector is present on the system. Set
