ATA/IDE Configuration
Please select [Compatible] when you install legacy OS (Windows® NT). If native OS (Windows® 2000 / XP) is installed, please select [Enhanced].
When [Compatible] is selected
Combined Option
It allows you to select between [SATA 1, SATA 2, SATA 3, SATA 4], [SATA 1, SATA 3, IDE 1], and [IDE 1, SATA 2, SATA 4]. If it is set to [SATA 1, SATA 3, IDE 1], then SATAII_2 and SATAII_4 will not work. Likewise, if it is set to [IDE 1, SATA 2, SATA 4], then SATAII_1 and SATAII_3 will not work.
Because Intel® ICH7 south bridge only supports four IDE devices under legacy OS (Windows® NT), you have to choose [SATA 1, SATA 2, SATA 3, SATA 4], [SATA 1, SATA 3, IDE 1], or [IDE 1, SATA 2, SATA 4] when the installed device is used with legacy OS.
