Installed O/S (Advanced Menu)
This setting tells the computer what kind of operating system you’re using. Make
sure you choose the correct setting for your O/S in order to prevent system problems.
Note: If you select the Vista O/S then the SATA Mode Selection menu will become
available. If you are installing the Windows XP O/S make sure you have set the ap-
propriate operating system here in order to prevent system problems.
SATA Mode Selection (Advanced Menu)
This menu is only available if you select the Vista O/S as your operating system.
You can configure SATA (Serial ATA) control to operate in either IDE (native/
compatible) or AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface) modes from this menu.
The SATA mode should be set to AHCI mode for this system (unless you are sure
your hard disk can only operate in IDE mode). If you are unsure of the mode your
hard disk supports contact your service center. Note the following:
• If you have installed the Windows Vista O/S with AHCI enabled, DO NOT dis-
able it (see sidebar).
• The SATA mode should be set to AHCI if you have included an Intel Turbo
Memory (Robson) NAND flash memory card module in your purchase option.
You can then enable the option from the DFOROM (Robson) Support Menu.
• The SATA mode should be set to AHCI, and the DFOROM (Robson) Support
Menu setting should be set to “Enabled” to support eSATA port hot-swapping.
