Drive A/B, Floppy 3 Mode Support, Halt on

Extended IDE Drive	You can use one of two methods:
Auto	Allows BIOS to automatically detect IDE devices during POST(default)
None	Select this if no IDE devices are used and the system will skip the
	automatic detection step and allow for faster system start up.
Access Mode	Use this to set the access mode for the hard drive. The two
	options are:Large/Auto(default:Auto)

Hard drive information should be labeled on the outside drive casing. Enter the appropriate option based on this information.

nDrive A/B

Allows user to configure the type of floppy drive his/she installs.

Options:None (No floppy drive installed)
