Select one of the hard disk drives to configure IDE devices

installed in the system by pressing <Enter> for more

¾ Hard Disk Write Protect

Set this option to protect the hard disk drive from being

overwritten. The default setting is Disabled.

¾ IDE Detect Time Out (Sec)

Set this option to stop the AMIBIOS from searching for IDE

devices within the specified number of seconds. Basically,

this allows you to fine-tune the settings to allow for faster
