Enhanced Mode Support On [S-ATA]
The default setting S-ATA allows you to use native OS (Windows 2000/XP) on
Serial ATA and Parallel ATA ports. We recommend that you do not change the
default setting for better OS compatibility. In this setting, you may use legacy
OS (Windows ME/98/98SE/NT4.0) on the Parallel ATA ports only if you did not
install any Serial ATA device.
The P-ATA+S-ATA and P-ATA options are for advanced users only. If you set to
any of these options and encounter problems, revert to the default setting
S-ATA. Configuration options: [P-ATA+S-ATA] [S-ATA] [P-ATA]
The Enhanced Mode Support On appears only when the item Onboard IDE
Operate Mode is set to Enhanced Mode.
IDE Port Settings [Primary P-ATA+S-ATA]
Allows selection of the IDE ports to activate if you are using a legacy operating
system. Set to [Primary P-ATA+S-ATA] if you wish to use the primary Parallel
ATA and Serial ATA ports, or set to [Secondary P-ATA+SATA] to enable the
secondary P-ATA port instead. Setting to [P-ATA Ports Only] disables the two
Serial ATA ports supported by ICH5. Configuration options:
[Primary P-ATA+S-ATA] [Secondary P-ATA+S-ATA] [P-ATA Ports Only]
The IDE Port Settings appears only when the item Onboard IDE Operate
Mode is set to Compatible Mode.
IDE Detect Time Out [35]
Selects the time out value for detecting ATA/ATAPI devices. Configuration options:
[0] [5] [10] [15] [20] [25] [30] [35]
