Field Type
The parameters you can select here are normally stored on your IDE drive. The
’Auto’ setting in the Type field means that these values are automatically read
from the drive and written into memory (Autodetect).
If Type is selected for a drive that cannot be detected, a timer times out in
approximately 1 minute and the entries remain unchanged. You should always
check that the interfaces for which you select ’Auto’ are in fact connected to
drives.
Select “User” if you want to define the hard-disk type yourself, in which case
remember that you also have to set the other fields, including Cylinder, Heads,
Sectors/Track and WritePrecomp, to the correct values for the type of hard disk in
question.
