Figure 4-3: IDE Device Submenu
Autotype Fixed Disk
The easiest way to set your IDE devices is to let the BIOS do it for you. When
the IDE Device submenu first appears, the Autotype Fixed Disk selection is
highlighted. Simply press ENTER and the remaining information is entered
automatically. Do not adjust the rest of the settings unless absolutely neces-
sary. The BIOS automatically enters the optimal settings.
Type
This category selects the drive type installed in the system. The options are 1-
39, User, and None. It is doubtful you will find your drive in 1-39.
If Autotype Fixed Disk does not find your drive’s parameters, fill this
information in manually under the User category. This information may be in
the manual which came with your system. If not, contact your dealer or the
hard drive manufacturer to fill in this category. If you are using a SCSI hard
drive, select None and refer to the documentation which came with the SCSI
adapter.
