Subscreens
There are four subscreens used to enable IDE devices:

All four subscreens contain the same eight fields described below.

• Auto Configured (default)

If you select User Definable, you can modify the Number of Cylinders, Number of Heads, and
Number of Sectors items. If you select Disabled, the BIOS will not scan for a device on that
interface.

If IDE Device Configuration is set to Auto Configured, this field reports the number of cylinders
for your hard disk and cannot be modified. If IDE Device Configuration is set to User Definable,
you must type the correct number of cylinders for your hard disk.
