6-6User’s Manual
6.3.3 Hard Disk Drive
The default setting for Hard Disk is [Auto]. With this setting, the BIOS
automatically detects your drive parameters. You can also opt to key in
your drive parameters by setting this parameter to [User]. To determine
your drive parameters, look at the data on the label pasted on your hard
disk drive (or supplied in vendor documentation) and type in the
parameters. Be sure to set the correct drive parameters; otherwise an error
message appears when you boot up the notebook. We suggest you set this
parameter to [Auto].
6.3.4 Large Hard Disk Capacity
The default setting for Large Hard Disk Capacity is [Enabled]. Set this
parameter to [Disabled] if you use a non-DOS or non-Windows-based
operating system on this computer.
6.3.5 Memory Test
The notebook can test main memory for errors when you turn it on. The
default setting, [Disabled], allows the notebook to bypass the memory
test and speed up the self-test procedure.
6.3.6 Boot Display
If you connect an external monitor, you can switch display between the LCD
and the external display. This parameter determines which display device
the notebook uses on boot-up. Table 6-1 describes the different settings.
If notebook resolution is set at 640x480, the image on the
notebook and external monitor will not be full-screen. For full-
screen image, set-up notebook at 800x600 resolution.
