Floppy Disk

This option controls the settings for the floppy drive. The BIOS
supports the 3-mode feature to automatically detect and read 512
bytes per sector, NEC-formatted (1.2MB) floppy disks without any
special configuration. The options available are:

Disable

1.44MB 3.5”

The default value for this field is: 1.44MB 3.5”

Hard Disk 0

Press Enter to access the Hard Disk submenu. This submenu lists
the parameter for the IDE hard disk drive. Every time you install a
different hard disk drive in the laptop, it should be (re)configured,
unless you have selected the Auto option described below. The
disk Type options are:

None No hard disk drive is installed. With this option, the system
requires a floppy disk to supply the bootup information.

User This allows you to fill in the parameters of the hard disk drive
below the Type option. The size (MB) field is automatically
calculated based on this information. These parameters should be
printed on the hard disk drive itself or in its accompanying
documentation.

Auto (Default setting) This is the easiest solution. The BIOS Setup
program detects the type of hard disk drive every time you boot the
system and automatically loads the information into BIOS. Set
Type to Auto and press Enter in the Autotype Hard Disk option.
