OnBoard IDE Operate Mode Please select [Compatible Mode] when you install legacy OS (Windows ME / 98SE) into SATA device. If you install legacy OS into IDE HDD while SATA devices are used, you also need to select [Compatible Mode]. If native OS (Windows 2000 / XP) is installed into SATA device, please select [Enhanced Mode]. You also need to select [Enhanced Mode] while native OS is installed into IDE HDD and SATA devices are used. If you do not install any SATA device, please also select [Enhanced Mode] no matter you use legacy OS or native OS for the system. Please note that the following options will be varied depending on the "OnBoard IDE Operate Mode" ([Compatible Mode] or [Enhanced Mode]) that you selected. When [Enhanced Mode] is selected: OnBoard IDE Controller You may enable either the primary IDE channel or the secondary IDE channel. Or you may enable both the primary and the secondary IDE channels by selecting [Both]. Set to [Disabled] will disable the both. Configuration options: [Disabled], [Primary], [Secondary], [Both]. When [Compatible Mode] is selected Combined Mode Option It allows you to select between [Pri IDE + SATA] and [SATA + Sec IDE]. If it is set to [Pri IDE + SATA], then the secondary IDE will not work. Likewise, if it is set to [SATA + Sec IDE], then the primary IDE will not work. Because Intel® ICH5 south bridge only supports four IDE devices under legacy OS (Windows ME / 98SE), you have to choose either [Pri IDE + SATA] or [SATA + Sec IDE] when the installed SATA device is used with legacy OS. 27
