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.
Before attempting to congure a hard disk drive, make sure you have
the correct conguration information supplied by the drive manufacturer.
Incorrect settings may cause the system to fail to recognize the installed
hard disk.
