Some older drives may not support the auto-sensing feature. If the drive parameters sensed by the computer do not match your drive, define your own drive type or reformat the disk.

You may also need to set the remaining options on the screen. See the next section for instructions on defining your own drive type.

The Multi-Sector Transfers option sets the number of sectors per block that the hard disk uses in multiple sector transfers. The auto-sensing feature sets this option appropriately for your drive.

The LBA Mode Control option enables or disables ISA logical block address control mode for each drive. Select Enabled if your drive is larger than 528MB and supports LBA mode. If you have a large drive that does not support LBA mode, you may not be able to use the drive’s full capacity. The auto-sensing feature sets this option appropriately for your drive.

The 32 Bit I/O option enables the 32-bit I/O transfer rate for data read from the disk. The auto-sensing feature sets this option appropriately for your drive.

Defining your own drive type

If the parameters for your hard disk are not detected by the auto-sensing feature, you must define your own drive type

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 leave SETUP, make sure you save your changes.
