Acer TravelMate 7300 manual Date and Time, Floppy Drives, Hard Disks

System Utilities

Date and Time

The current date is in “Day-of-the-week Month Day, Year” format—for example, [Mon Aug 11, 1997]. The current time is in “Hour:Minutes:Seconds” format. The system uses a 24-hour clock—for example, 6:25:50 PM appears as 18:25:50.

Floppy Drives

The default setting for Floppy Drive A is 1.44 MB 3.5-inch. Floppy Drive B is set to None, and it is only enabled if you connect an additional external floppy drive.

Hard Disks

The Hard Disk 0 entry refers to the computer’s internal hard disk. With this entry set to Auto, the BIOS automatically detects the hard disk and displays its capacity, cylinders, heads, and sectors. Other hard disk settings are configured automatically for optimum drive performance.

You can change the Hard Disk 0 entry to User if you want to enter drive settings manually. To determine your drive settings, check the data found on your hard disk or supplied in the hard disk vendor documentation.

Caution: We suggest that you leave this parameter set to Auto to allow the BIOS to auto-detect the drive settings at each boot-up.
