using another operating system, select Non-OS2. The default setting is Non-OS2.

When you are running some older Windows version without floppy drive, set this item to Yes. Otherwise,

Delay IDE Initial (Secs):
This item is used to support some old models or special types of hard disks or CD-ROMs. They may need
a longer amount of time to initialize and prepare for activation. Since the BIOS may not detect those
kinds of devices during system booting. You can adjust the value to fit such devices. Larger values will
give more delay time to the device. The minimum number you can enter is 0, the maximum number you
can enter is 15. The default setting is 0.
