Your computer comes with a hard disk auto-sensing feature. Press Enter when the Autotype Fixed Disk option is highlighted. The system detects the type of hard disk drive and fills in the remaining fields on the screen.
If you are using an older drive or a preformatted drive, it may not support the auto-sensing feature. If you press Enter when the Autotype Fixed Diskoption ishighlighted and the drive parameters do not match your drive, check Appendix A to see if your drive’s parameters are included in the hard disk drive table. If not, you need to define your own drive type or reformat the disk. See the next section for instructions on how to define your own drive type.
Defining Your Own Drive Type
If the parameters for your hard disk do not match the parameters detected by the auto-sensing feature, or if you want to use your drive with parameters other than the defaults, you can define your own type. (See Appendix A for a list of predefined hard disk drive types and their parameters.)
To define your own drive type, follow these steps:
1.Move the cursor to Type and select User.
2.Type the values in each field that are appropriate for your hard disk drive.
3.When you exit SETUP, make sure you save your changes.
