Disk Drive Control
There are two items under this parameter: Diskette Drive and Hard Disk Drive.
These items allow you to write-protect the diskette and hard disk drives.
The settings include:
Write Protect All Sectors - Disables the write function all sectors of the diskette or hard disk drive.
Write Protect Boot Sector - Disables the write function only on the boot sector
of the diskette or hard disk drive.
Normal Allows the diskette or hard disk drive to function normally. This is the default setting.
Onboard Floppy Disk Controller - This parameter allows you to enable or disable
to onboard floppy disk controller chipset.
When set to Enabled, the controller enables the diskette drive on the computer.
When set to Disabled, the controller deactivates the drive but simultaneously frees
IRQ 6 which is normally assigned to the diskette drive.
You may then assign IRQ 6 to another device.
Onboard IDE Primary Channel - This parameter allows you to enable or
disable the onboard IDE primary channel controller.
Setting this parameter to Enabled lets you use the primary IDE connector (IDE 1) to connect up to two
IDE drives.
Setting to Disabled deactivates IDE 1 but frees IRQ 14 for the use of other devices.
The default setting is Enabled.
Onboard IDE Secondary Channel - This parameter allows you to enable or
disable the onboard IDE secondary channel controller.
Setting this parameter to Enabled lets you use the secondary IDE connector (IDE 2) to connect up to
two IDE drives.
Setting to Disabled deactivates IDE 2 but frees IRQ 15 for the use of other devices.
The default setting is Enabled.
