Using System Setup 47
To configure a replacement or upgrade hard drive, move the
cursor to select the IDE Adapter 0 field in the System Setup Main
menu, and then press the <Enter> key. The IDE Adapter
submenu appears.
Normally, you can use the Autotype Fixed Disk field in the
submenu to automatically set the values for the other fields in
the submenu. Manually set the other fields in this submenu only
if the drive you have installed in your computer is not
recognized by System Setup.
After you make your selections from this submenu, press the
<Esc> key to exit back to the Main menu.
You do not need to configure the drive that came with your
computer.
Before attempting to configure a hard drive,
make sure you have the configuration
information supplied by the manufacturer of the
hard drive. Incorrect drive settings can cause
your computer to malfunction.
Each IDE adapter field calls up a submenu. The following fields
are found in the submenu:
Autotype Fixed Disk: Automatically configures an IDE-
type drive. Normally, press <Enter> at this field to have
your computer attempt to automatically detect the drive
type and set the values for the remaining fields in this
submenu.
Type: Configures the hard drive type. If you know the
correct drive type for your hard drive, enter the number
(1-39) or chose CD for a CD-ROM drive. All remaining
fields in this submenu are then filled with the correct
values for the disk type. If you do not have the
documentation that came with your upgrade hard drive,
try to use the Autotype Fixed Disk option as described
above.
To configure a drive that is not one of the 39 standard
drive types, specify User. Manually enter the number of
cylinders, heads, sectors per track, and write
precompensation for your drive. Refer to your drive’s
