Master/Slave Drives
Type [Auto]
Select [Auto] to automatically detect an IDE hard disk drive. If automatic
detection is successful, Setup automatically fills in the correct values for
the remaining fields on this sub-menu. If automatic detection fails, this
may be because the hard disk drive is too old or too new. If the hard disk
was already formatted on an older system, Setup may detect incorrect
parameters. In these cases, select [User Type HDD] to manually enter the
IDE hard disk drive parameters. Refer to the next section for details.
NOTE: After entering the IDE hard disk drive information into BIOS,
use a disk utility, such as FDISK, to partition and format new IDE hard
disk drives. This is necessary so that you can write or read data from the
hard disk. Make sure to set the partition of the Primary IDE hard disk
drives to active.
CAUTION!
Before attempting to configure a hard disk drive, make sure you
have the configuration information supplied by the drive manufacturer. Incorrect
settings may cause the system to fail to recognize the installed hard disk.
Other options for the Type field are:
[None] - to disable IDE devices
