Primary & Secondary IDE Master / Slave [Auto]
See 4.3.1 Primary & Seconday IDE Master/Slave for details.
Auto-Detect Hard Disks
This option detects the parameters of an IDE hard disk drive and automatically en-
ters them into the Main Setup menu. The only difference between this option and the
[Auto] option in the Primary/Secondary IDE Master/Slave fields is that this op-
tion allows the BIOS program to remember the drive information and to skip IDE
deivce detection routines during bootup hereafter. Therefore, the system may not be
able to recognize new IDE devices installed after you activate this option and you
must select [Auto] for the IDE Device Configuration field or manually enter the
information for those devices.
