Primary/Secondary Master/Slave sub-menus
There are a total of four IDE adapter sub-menus for the primary and secondary
hard disk controllers, each having a master and slave drive menu.
Access this screen to:
• See or reconfigure the detailed characteristics of the primary hard disk (select
the IDE Adapter 0 Master item from the Main BIOS Setup).
• Set up new disks and allow the Setup program to determine the proper settings
based on information on the disk. Note that the Setup program can detect these
settings only on drives that comply with ANSI specifications.
• Set up existing (formatted) disks. Note that you must use the same parameters
used when the disk originally was formatted. You must select an option for the
Type field, then enter the specific cylinder, head, and sector information listed
on the label attached to the drive at the factory.
