UTILITY WINDOW
Detect Master
Detect Slave
IDE drive parameters found with the Detect Master / Detect Slave function are stored in the user defined drive
TYPE "USER".
IMPORTANT:
It is possible that the parameters provided do not match the ones founded in your drive's literature.
This should not be considered an error. As matter of fact, different combinations of heads, cylinders and sectors
that match the disk's capacity in MB will work when formatting anIDE hard drive. But if the disk is already
formatted, it is not possible to use different parameters than the ones that were used when the drive was
originally formatted.
