Field Description
Type Identifies the disk type. You can select one of these:
Note: You must press + and - to change this field’s
values.
• Auto (default): Select this option when you want the
POST to query the hard disk for its parameters
whenever the POST runs.
Note: If you set a hard disk to “Auto”, but no hard disk
is actually present, the BIOS queries the (non-existent)
hard disk until it times out, slightly increasing the
duration of the POST.
• None: Select this option if yours is not an IDE hard disk
drive.
• User: Select this option if you have an IDE disk but
cannot employ the “Autotype” feature. Then enter the
correct drive values for cylinders, heads, sectors/track,
and write precompensation.
• CD-ROM: Select this option if you have a CD-ROM
drive.
