Description

Options

 

 

IDE HDD Block Mode

Selecting Enabled speeds up processing of drive reads and writes, but may cause

 

instability in IDE subsystems that cannot support such fast performance. If you are

 

getting disk drive errors, try setting this value to Disabled.

 

 

IDE DMA transfer access

This BIOS feature allows you to enable or disable DMA (Direct Memory Access)

 

support for all IDE devices.

 

 

If you disable this BIOS feature, the BIOS will disable DMA transfers for all IDE drives.

 

They will revert to PIO mode transfers.

 

 

If you enable this BIOS feature, the BIOS will enable DMA transfers for all IDE drives.

 

The proper DMA mode will be detected at boot-up. If the drive does not support DMA

 

transfers, then it will use PIO mode instead.

 

 

 

IDE Primary transfer access

This BIOS feature allows you to enable or disable primary support for all IDE devices.

 

 

 

IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave

The four IDE PIO (Programmed Input/Output)

Auto

PIO

fields let you set a PIO mode (0-4) for each of the

Enabled

 

four IDE devices that the onboard IDE interface

Disabled

 

supports. Modes 0 through 4 provide

 

 

 

successively increased performance. In Auto

 

 

mode, the system automatically determines the

 

 

best mode for each device.
