  IDE HDD Auto-Detection : Press  while this item is 

highlighted if you want the Setup Utility to automatically detect and 

configure a hard disk drive on the IDE channel. 

If your system has an IDE hard drive, you can use this utility to 

detect its parameters and enter them into the Standard CMOS Setup 

automatically 

 If the auto-detected parameters displayed do not match the ones 

 that should be used for your hard drive, do not accept them. Press 

 the  key to reject the values and enter the correct ones manually 

in the Standard CMOS Setup screen. 

  Note: 

If you are setting up a new hard disk drive that supports LBA 

mode, more than one line will appear in the parameter box. 

Choose the line that lists LBA for an LBA drive. 

Do not choose “Large” or “Normal” if the hard disk drive is already 

fully formatted when you installed it. Select the mode that was used 

to format it. 

   IDE Primary/Secondary Master/Slave : If you leave this item 

at “Auto,” the system will automatically detect and configure any 

IDE devices it finds. If it fails to find a hard disk, change the value to 

“Manual” and then manually configure the drive by entering the 

characteristics of the drive in the items below (Capacity, Cylinder, 

Head, Precomp, etc.). Refer to your drive’s documentation or look 

on the drive if you need to obtain this information. If no device is 

installed, change the value to “None.” 

  Access Mode : This item defines some special ways that can be   

used to access IDE hard disks such as LBA (Large Block   

Addressing). Leave this value at “Auto” and the system will 

automatically decide the fastest way to access the hard disk drive.
