Enhanced Mode Support On [S-ATA]
The default setting S-ATA allows you to use native OS 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 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]
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]
IDE Detect Time Out [35]
