IDE Hard Disk Drives
To enter the configuration value for the IDE hard disk drives, follow these
steps:
1. Move the highlight bar to the Hard Disk 0 parameter to configure the hard
disk drive (drive C).
2. Press the left or right arrow key to display the hard disk options with their
respective values.
3. Select the option that corresponds to your hard disk type.
Follow the same procedure for the Hard Disk 1 parameter. Choose None if
you do not have a second hard disk drive.
Selecting the Auto Option
If you do not know the exact type of your IDE hard disk, select the option
Auto. During POST, when the system performs self-testing and self-
initialization before loading the operating system and applications, the BIOS
utility automatically determines the type of your hard disk. You can see the
hard disk values when you enter Setup.

The next time you boot the system, Setup does not have to auto-configure
your hard disk because it reads the saved hard disk information during POST.
Note: We recommend that you copy the hard disk values and keep them in a
safe place in case you have to reconfigure the disk in the future.
Follow the same procedure to auto-configure other hard disks.
