Move the highlight bar to the IDE Drive 0 parameter to configure the
first IDE drive (drive C). Press or to display the IDE drive types
with their respective values. Select the type that corresponds to your
IDE hard disk drive. Follow the same procedure for the other IDE
drives, if any. Choose None if you do not have other drives.
Selecting the “Auto” Option
If you do not know the exact type of your IDE hard disk drive, select
the option Auto. During the power-on self-test (POST), when the
system performs self-testing and self-initialization before loading the
operating system and applications, the BIOS utility automatically
determines your IDE drive type. You can see the drive type and its
values when you enter the BIOS Utility.

If desired, you can save the values under the option User.

The next time you boot the system, the BIOS utility does not have to
auto-configure your IDE drive as it detects the saved disk information
during POST.
Copy the IDE disk drive values and keep
them in a safe place in case you have to
reconfigure the disk in the future.
Follow the same procedure to auto-configure other IDE drives.
