Note:
You shouldn’t need to adjust your hard drive parameters
because the system detects drive type automatically. If your
system fails to detect the internal or secondary hard drive,
first make sure the drive is fully inserted, then reset the default
SETUP settings (F9 key in SETUP).
Autotype Fixed Disk:
[Press Enter]
Attempts to automatically detect the drive type for drives that
comply with ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
specifications. The utility will sense the parameters of the
installed drive, allowing you to use it in your machine. This
identifies the drive, but does not format it.
Type:
[Auto] <quantity>Mb
If Auto (default) is selected, this works with Autotype to detect
drive parameters. Otherwise, you can select several other options:
User, None (if you boot from a floppy or the CD module), and 1
through 39 (industry standard drive types). When set to User,
you can manually adjust your drive’s parameters.
System Date:
[dd/mm/yy]
Sets your system’s calendar.
Primary Master
[C: XXXX MB]
Reports the drive letter of your system’s main drive and its
capacity in megabytes. The submenu lets you adjust drive
parameters.
Note:
None
can be selected by pressing the spacebar on your
keyboard.
Cylinders:
[<quantity>]
How many cylinders are on the hard disk.
Heads:
[<quantity>]
How many read/write heads the hard drive uses.
Sectors:
[<quantity>]
How many sectors are contained within a single track.
Maximum Capacity:
[<quantity>]
Maximum capacity on the hard disk is displayed.
Multi-Sector Transfers:[<quantity>]
Determines the number of sectors per block for multiple sector
transfers. MAX refers to the size the disk returns when queried.
LBA Mode Control:
[Enabled]
Enabling LBA causes Logical Block Addressing to be used in
place of Cylinders, Heads & Sectors.
