B Using the BIOS Setup Program

The Auto option may provide a different set of parameters for the same hard disk drive at different times. You should, however, always reconfigure the hard disk drive with the parameters you received the first time. If you use a different set of parameters, you may be unable to read any data on the hard disk drive. Be sure to record the original configuration parameters for your hard disk drive for future use.

Note: If the system determines that the hard disk drive is 528MB or larger (unformatted capacity), it automatically “sees” the hard disk drive using LBA mode. If you are using a 528MB or larger hard disk drive from an older system that does not support LBA mode, the system cannot read it properly. You must reconfigure the BIOS Setup program and reformat the hard disk drive.
