These fields are used to configure Parallel ATA drives. Move the cursor to a field
then press <Enter>. The following screen will appear.

IDE Auto-Detection

Detects the parameters of the drive. The parameters will automatically be
shown on the screen.

Extended IDE Drive

If you select ”Auto”, the BIOS will auto-detect the HDD & CD-ROM drive at
the POST stage and show the IDE for the HDD & CD-ROM drive. If a hard
disk has not been installed, select “None”.

Access Mode

For hard drives larger than 528MB, you would typically select the LBA type.
Certain operating systems require that you select CHS or Large. Please check
your operating system’s manual or Help desk on which one to select.

slightly greater than the size of a formatted disk given by a disk checking
program.
