TYPE

It allows user to select the type of the IDE Drive. Below are the

configuration options. After making your selections on this sub-menu,

press <ESC> key to return to the upper menu, in which the hard disk drive

field will display the size for the hard disk drive that you configured.

[USER]: It allows user to manually enter the number of cylinders, heads,

and sectors per track for the drive.

Before attempting to configure a hard disk drive, make sure you

have the correct configuration information supplied by the drive

manufacturer. Incorrect settings may cause the system to fail to

recognize the installed hard disk.

[Auto]: Select [Auto] to automatically detect hard disk drive. If

auto-detection is successful, the BIOS Setup automatically fills in the

correct values for the remaining fields on this sub-menu. If the auto-

detection fails, it may due to that the hard disk is too old or too new.

If the hard disk was already formatted on an older system, the BIOS

Setup may detect incorrect parameters. In these cases, select [User]

to manually enter the IDE hard disk drive parameters.

After entering the hard disk information into BIOS, use a disk

utility, such as FDISK, to partition and format new IDE hard disk

drives. This is necessary so that you can write or read data

from the hard disk. Make sure to set the partition of the Primary

IDE hard disk drives to active.

[CD/DVD]: This is used for IDE CD/DVD drives.

[ARMD]: This is used for IDE ARMD (Accelerated Removable Media

Device), such as MO.
