Onboard IDE Operate Mode [Compatible Mode]

Allows selection of the IDE operation mode depending on the operating system (OS) that you installed. Set to Compatible Mode if you are using legacy OS including MS-DOS, Windows® 98/NT4.0/ME. Set to Enhanced Mode if you are using native OS, such as Windows® 2000/XP.

Configuration options: [Compatible Mode] [Enhanced Mode]

Refer to the section “Parallel ATA and Serial ATA device configurations” on page 1-22 for the appropriate settings of the IDE Configuration items under different operating systems.

Enhanced Mode Support On [S-ATA]

The default setting S-ATA allows you to use native OS on Serial ATA and Parallel ATA ports. We recommend that you do not change the default setting for better OS compatibility. In this setting, you may use legacy OS on the Parallel ATA ports only if you did not install any Serial ATA device.
