Each device menu item displays the hard drive or CD-ROM

 

identifier if a device is installed.

 

If you install a hard drive that does not feature auto IDE

 

type detection or your IDE hard drive was formatted on

 

another system with parameters different from those

 

reported by the drive, enter a parameter for each of the

 

fields in the device submenu.

 

Bring up a device submenu by pressing Enter. Each

 

submenu and its fields are described next.

Type

User, Auto, None, CD-ROM, IDE/ATAPI Removable

 

When set to Auto, the values for Cylinders, Heads,

 

Sectors, Multi-Sector Transfer, LBA Mode Control, Transfer

 

Mode, and Ultra DMA Mode are displayed but are read

 

only.

 

When set to Auto, the BIOS detects what the drive is

 

capable of, not the translation mechanism that was used to

 

format the drive. If a drive is run in a mode other than the

 

mode in which it was partitioned and formatted,

 

unpredictable results might occur, including data loss.

 

When set to None, informs the system to ignore this drive.

 

When set to CD-ROM or IDE/ATAPI Removable, allows
