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 (PORT1), SATAII_4 (PORT3) will not work. Likewise, if it is set to [IDE 1, SATA 2, SATA 4], then SATAII_1 (PORT0), SATAII_3 (PORT2) 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.
