Set to Compatible Mode if you are using legacy OS including MS-DOS, Windows ME/98/NT4.0. Configuration options: [Compatible Mode] [Enhanced Mode]

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.
