NOTE: This scan order option may conflict with operating systems that
automatically assign a drive order.
Removable Media Support – This option defines the removable media sup-
port for a specific drive. When this option is selected, a window appears with
three choices:
• None
• Boot Drive Only
• With Media Installed
None – indicates there is no removable media support whether the drive is
selected in BBS as being first, or first in scan order in non-BBS.
Boot Drive Only – provides removable media support for a removable hard
drive if it is first in the scan order.
With Media Installed – provides removable media support wherever the
drive(s) actually resides. One of these choices can be selected by highlighting
it and pressing Enter.
CHS Mapping – This option defines the cylinder head sector (CHS) values
that will be mapped onto a disk without pre-existing partitioning information.
SCSI Plug and Play Mapping is the default value. To support interchange with
noncompatible systems, there is another option that can be selected by choos-
ing CHS Mapping and then cursoring to "Alternate CHS Mapping".
NOTE: Neither of these options will have any affect after the disk has
been partitioned with the FDISK command. To remove partitioning,
two options are available:
• Reformat the disk using the Format Device option. See the section "Sec-
tion 3.2.3, "Device Selections Menu"" below.
• Use the FDISK /MBR command at the C:\ prompt, where MBR repre-
sents master boot record.
IMPORTANT: Reformatting the disk or using FDISK /MBR erases all
partitioning and data that exists. Be careful when using either the For-
mat utility or the FDISK /MBR command that you target the correct
disk. After clearing the partitions and data, it is necessary to reboot
and clear memory or the old partitioning data will be reused, thus nul-
lifying the previous operation.
