UTILITY FUNCTIONS
DetectMaster/DetectSlave
The DetectMaster and DetectSlave options allow you to have
WinBIOS automatically detect the type of hard disk drive(s) in your
system. The automatic detection functions only if you have IDE
drives. The parameters are reported to the appropriate screen in
WinBIOS Standard Setup (Master Disk or Slave Disk), so the hard
drive can easily be configured.
If you select the DetectMaster or the DetectSlave icon from the
Utility window of the WinBIOS Setup Main Menu, the following
window displays:
WinBIOS searches for the hard disk, and if it can access the drive it
reads the disk parameters. It then searches the WinBIOS drive table
for matching parameters to determine the disk type and displays both
the type and parameters on the screen. If no matching parameters
are found in the table, WinBIOS specifies the type as "USER" and
fills in the parameter values it found on the drive. If it cannot access
the drive or if it is not an IDE drive, WinBIOS times out and
specifies that the disk drive is "Not Detected."
The screen displays the parameters for the disk drive and asks if you
accept the values:
