IDE Devices (None)
Your computer has two IDE channels (Primary and Secondary) and each channel can
be installed with one or two devices (Master and Slave). Use these items to configure
each device on the IDE channel.
Press <Enter> to display the IDE submenu:
IDE HDD Auto-Detection
Press <Enter> while this item is highlighted to prompt the Setup Utility to
automatically detect and configure an IDE device on the IDE channel.
NOTE: If you are setting up a new hard disk drive that supports LBA mode, more
than one line will appear in the parameter box. Choose the line that lists LBA for an
LBA drive.
IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave (Auto)
Leave this item at Auto to enable the system to automatically detect and configure
IDE devices on the channel. If it fails to find a device, change the value to Manual and
then manually configure the drive by entering the characteristics of the drive in the
items described below.
Refer to your drive's documentation or look on the drive casing if you need to obtain
this information. If no device is installed, change the value to None.
