3.11 IDE HDD Auto Detection
If your system has an IDE hard drive, you can use this function to detect its
parameters and enter them into the "Standard CMOS Setup" automatically.
This routine only detects one set of parameters for your IDE hard drive. Some
IDE drives can use more than one set of parameters. If your hard disk is
formatted using different parameters than those detected, you have to enter
the parameters manually. If the parameters listed do not match the ones used
to format the disk, the information on that disk will not be accessible. If the
auto-detected parameters displayed do not match those that used for your
drive, ignore them. Type N to reject the values and enter the correct ones
manually from the Standard CMOS Setup screen.
3.12 Save & Exit Setup
This function automatically saves all CMOS values before leaving Setup.
3.13 Exit without Saving
Use this function to exit Setup without saving the CMOS value changes. Do
not use this option if you want to save the new configuration.
