Selecting the “User” Option
There are cases when you cannot use the option Auto, instead you
have to select User. Choose the User option when you have installed
an IDE hard disk that was previously formatted but does not use the
disk native parameters or structure, that is, the disk type may be in the
IDE hard disk types list but the number of cylinders, heads, and
sectors differ.
Follow these steps to configure an IDE hard disk with the User option:
1. Highlight an IDE drive parameter.
2. Select the option User and press .
3. Type in the number of cylinders, heads, and sectors of the drive
under the appropriate columns.
Be sure to have the correct IDE hard disk
drive information beforehand.
4. Choose YES when asked if you want to save CMOS data.
2.2.4 Total Memory
The system automatically detects the total amount of onboard memory
during POST and sets this parameter accordingly. If you install
additional memory, the system automatically adjusts the Total Memory
parameter to display the new memory size.
