B Using the BIOS Setup Program

Floppy Disk

•Disable

•1.44MB 3.5”

The default value for this field is: 1.44MB 3.5”

Hard Disk 0

Press Enter to access the Hard Disk submenu. This submenu lists the parameter for the IDE hard disk drive. Every time you install a different hard disk drive in the laptop, it should be (re)configured, unless you have selected the Auto option described below. The disk Type options are:

None No hard disk drive is installed. With this option, the system requires a floppy disk to supply the bootup information.

User This allows you to fill in the parameters of the hard disk drive below the Type option. The size (MB) field is automatically calculated based on this information. These parameters should be printed on the hard disk drive itself or in its accompanying documentation.

Auto (Default setting) This is the easiest solution. The BIOS Setup program detects the type of hard disk drive every time you boot the system and automatically loads the information into BIOS. Set Type to Auto and press Enter in the Autotype Hard Disk option.
