The next time you boot the system, the BIOS utility does not have to auto-configure your IDE fixed disk as it detects the saved IDE fixed disk information during POST.

Note: We recommend that you copy the IDE fixed disk values and keep them in a safe place in case you have to reconfigure the disk in the future.

Follow the same procedure to auto-configure other installed IDE fixed disks.

However, there are cases when you cannot use the option Auto, instead you have to select User. This is when you installed an IDE fixed disk that was previously formatted but not using the disk native parameters or structure. The IDE disk type may be in the fixed disk type list but the number of cylinders, heads, and sectors are not exactly the same.

Before using the User option, obtain the correct IDE fixed disk information.
