Auto Not Installed CD-ROM ARMD LBA/Large Mode Selects the hard disk drive translation method. For drivers with more than 504 MB, LBA mode is necessary. Auto Disabled Block (Multi-Sector Transfer) Mode Enhances disk performance depending on the hard disk in use. When set to Auto, the BIOS setup automatically detects if the installed hard disk drive supports the Block Mode function. If supported, it allows data transfer in blocks (multiple sectors at a rate of 256 bytes per cycle). When set to Disabled, data transfer from and to the device occurs one sector at a time. Auto Disabled PIO Mode When set to Auto, the BIOS setup automatically detects if the installed hard disk supports the function. If supported, it allows for faster data recovery and read/write timing that reduces hard disk activity time. This results in better hard disk performance. Mode 0 to 4 provide progressive increase of performance. Auto 0 1 2 3 4
