The BIOS can automatically detect the specifications and optimal operating

mode of almost all IDE hard drives. When you select type AUTO for a hard

drive, the BIOS detect its specifications during POST, every time system

boots.

If you do not want to select drive type AUTO, other methods of selecting

drive type are available:

1. Match the specifications of your installed IDE hard drive(s) with the

preprogrammed values for hard drive types 1 through 45.

2. Select USER and enter values into each drive parameter field.

3. Use the IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION function in Setup.

Here is a brief explanation of drive specifications:

Type: The BIOS contains a table of pre-defined drive types. Each

defined drive type has a specified number of cylinders, number of heads,

write precompensation factor, landing zone, and number of sectors.

Drives whose specifications do not accommodate any predefine type are

classified as type USER.

• Size: Disk drive capacity (approximate). Note that this size is usually

greater than the size of a formatted disk given by a disk-checking

program.

• Cyls: number of cylinders.

• Head: number of heads.

• Precomp: write precompensation cylinders.

• Landz: landing zone.

• Sector: number of sectors.

• Mode: Auto, Normal, Large or LBA.

Auto: The BIOS automatically determines the optimal mode.

 Normal: Maximum number of cylinders, heads, sectors

supported are 1024, 16 and 63.

 Large: For drives that do not support LBA and have more

than 1024 cylinders.
