Primary IDE Master [Auto]

Select [Auto] to automatically detect an IDE drive. If automatic detection is successful, the setup BIOS automatically fills in the correct values for the remaining fields on this sub-menu.

If automatic detection fails, this may be because the IDE drive is too old or too new. If the drive was already formatted on a previous system, the BIOS may detect incorrect parameters. In these cases, select [Manual] to manually enter the IDE drive parameters. Refer to the section “Manually detecting an IDE drive.”

If no drive is installed or if you are removing a drive and not replacing it, select [None]. Configuration options: [None] [Auto] [Manual]

The IDE drive information items are grayed out when this item is set to [Auto].

Access Mode [Auto]

Allows selection of the sector addressing mode. The default [Auto] allows automatic detection of an IDE drive. Set this item to [CHS] if the Primary IDE Master item is set to [Manual] so you can manually enter the drive values. Configuration options: [CHS] [LBA] [Large] [Auto]

PIO Mode [Auto]

Sets the PIO mode for the IDE drive. The settings Mode 0 to 4 allow successive increase in performance. Configuration options: [Auto] [Mode 0] [Mode 1] [Mode 2] [Mode 3] [Mode 4]
