Chapter 2: BIOS Setup

2.3.1 Primary Master/Slave

IDE HDD Auto-Detection [Press Enter]

Press enter to automatically detect an IDE hard disk drive, if the hard drive is not

already detected. In cases of undetected HDDs, pressing enter will detect the HDD

and then open access to both the IDE Primary Master and Access Mode fields.

IDE Primary Master/Slave [Auto]

Select [Auto] to automatically detect an IDE hard disk drive. If automatic detection is

successful, the setup BIOS 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 a previous

system, the setup BIOS may detect incorrect parameters. In these cases, select

[Manual] to manually enter the IDE hard disk drive parameters. See Access Mode

below and refer to the next page for more details. If no drive is installed or if you are

removing a drive and not replacing it, select [None]. Configuration options: [None]

[Auto [Manual]

Access Mode [Auto]

The default [Auto] automatically detects an IDE hard disk drive. Select [CHS] in

coordination with the [Manual] setting of the IDE Primary Master in order to enter the

Hard Disk Drive values manually.

Before attempting to configure a hard disk drive, make sure you have the

correct configuration information supplied by the drive manufacturer. Incorrect

settings may cause the system to fail to recognize the installed hard disk.
