Using the Fixed Disk Setup Option

The

Fixed Disk Setup

option defines the types of hard

disk drives connected to the primary and secondary IDE
interfaces in your system. When you select this option, you see

the Fixed Disk Setup screen.

Note

These options do not configure other IDE devices, such as

CD-ROM drives, connected to the secondary IDE interface.

Fixed Disk Setup screen options

If any of the drives you installed are larger than 528MB, make

sure the

Large Disk Access mode

option is set to

DOS

(the default setting). Set this option to

Other

if you are using

UNIX® or an operating system other than MS-DOS@ or Windows.

From this screen, you can configure each of the installed drives

by selecting them at these options:

IDE Adapter 0 Master
IDE Adapter 0 Slave
IDE Adapter 1 Master
IDE Adapter 1 Slave

The IDE Adapter 0 drives are the master and slave drives
connected to your primary IDE interface. The IDE Adapter 1
drives are connected to the secondary IDE interface.

Individual drive options

Your computer comes with a hard disk auto-sensing feature. To

use it, select one of the drives you have installed from the Fixed

Disk Setup screen. On the screen that appears for that drive,
press

Enter

to select the

Autotype Fixed Disk

option. The

system detects the type of hard disk drive, fills in the drive’s

parameters, and sets the remaining options on the screen.
