Select Menu
Auto-Detection [Press Enter]
Press Enter to automatically detect an IDE drive, if the drive is not yet
detected. Upon pressing Enter, the message “Detecting Hard Drive...”
appears as the BIOS attempts to detect the presence of a IDE drive.
Primary IDE Master [Auto]
Select [Auto] to automatically detect an IDE drive. If automatic detection is
successful, the setup BIOS automatically fills in the correct values for the
remaining fields on this sub-menu.
If automatic detection fails, this may be because the IDE drive is too old or
too new. If the drive was already formatted on a previous system, the
BIOS may detect incorrect parameters. In these cases, select [Manual] to
manually enter the IDE drive parameters. Refer to the section “Manually
detecting an IDE drive.”
If no drive is installed or if you are removing a drive and not replacing it,
select [None]. Configuration options: [None] [Auto] [Manual]
The IDE drive information items are grayed out when this item is set to
[Auto].
