Translation Parameters

(ATA disks only)

✎

This feature appears only when User translation mode is selected.

Allows you to specify the parameters (logical cylinders, heads, and

sectors per track) used by the BIOS to translate disk I/O requests

(from the operating system or an application) into terms the hard

drive can accept. Logical cylinders may not exceed 1024. The

number of heads may not exceed 256. The number of sectors per

track may not exceed 63. These fields are only visible and

changeable when the drive translation mode is set to User.

Storage Options

Removable Media Boot

Enables/disables ability to boot the system from removable media.

Legacy Diskette Write

Enables/disables ability to write data to legacy diskettes.

✎

After saving changes to Removable Media Write, the computer

will restart. Turn the computer off, then on, manually.

BIOS DMA Data Transfers

Allows you to control how BIOS device I/O requests are serviced.

When “Enable” is selected, the BIOS will service ATA device read

and write requests with DMA data transfers. When “Disable” is

selected, the BIOS will service ATA device read and write requests

with PIO data transfers.

SATA Emulation

Allows you to choose how the SATA controller and devices are

accessed by the operating system.

“Separate IDE Controller

” is the default option. Up to 4 SATA and 2

PATA devices may be accessed in this mode. The SATA and PATA

controllers appear as two separate IDE controllers. Use this option

with Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

• SATA 0 is seen as SATA Primary Device 0

• SATA 1 (if present) is seen as SATA Secondary Device 0

“Combined IDE Controller

” is the other option. Up to 2 PATA and 2

SATA devices may be accessed in this mode. The SATA and PATA

controllers appear as one combined IDE controller. Use this option

with Microsoft Windows 98 and earlier operating systems.

• PATA Primary Device 0 replaces SATA 1

• PATA Primary Device 1 replaces SATA 3

IDE Controller

Allows you to enable or disable the primary IDE controller. This

feature is supported on some models.

Primary SATA Controller
