C IDE Primary Master, Slave / IDE Secondary Master, Slave The category identifies the types of hard disk from drive C to F that has been installed in the computer. There are two types: auto type, and manual type. Manual type is user-definable; Auto type which will automatically detect HDD type. Note that the specifications of your drive must match with the drive table. The hard disk will not work properly if you enter improper information for this category. If you select User Type, related information will be asked to enter to the following items. Enter the information directly from the keyboard and press . Such information should be provided in the documentation form your hard disk vendor or the system manufacturer. 8CYLS.Number of cylinders 8HEADSNumber of heads 8PRECOMPWrite precomp 8LANDZONELanding zone 8SECTORSNumber of sectors If a hard disk has not been installed select NONE and press .

(Default value) 8Drive ADrive A is 3 mode Floppy Drive. 8Drive BDrive B is 3 mode Floppy Drive. 8BothDrive A & B are 3 mode Floppy Drives. C Halt on The category determines whether the computer will stop if an error is detected during power up. 8NO ErrorsThe system boot will not stop for any error that may be detected and you will be prompted. 8All ErrorsWhenever the BIOS detects a non-fatal error the system will be stopped. 8All, But KeyboardThe system boot will not stop for a keyboard error; it will stop for all other errors. (Default value) 8All, But DisketteThe system boot will not stop for a disk error; it will stop for all other errors. 8All, But Disk/KeyThe system boot will not stop for a keyboard or disk error; it will stop for all other errors. C Memory The category is display-only which is determined by POST (Power On Self Test) of the BIOS. Base Memory The POST of the BIOS will determine the amount of base (or conventional) memory installed in the system. The value of the base memory is typically 512 K for systems with 512 K memory installed on the motherboard, or 640 K for systems with 640 K or more memory installed on the motherboard. Extended Memory The BIOS determines how much extended memory is present during the POST. This is the amount of memory located above 1 MB in the CPU’s memory addressmap.
