EP-6VBA
The "IDE HDD auto detection" utility is a very useful tool, especially when you
do not know which kind of hard disk type you are using. You can use this utility
to detect the correct disk type installed in the system automatically. But now you
can set HARD DISK TYPE to Auto in the STANDARD CMOS SETUP. You
don't need the "IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION" utility. The BIOS will Auto-
detect the hard disk size and model on display during POST.
