    v7 v8  
    257257  * Back to IDE Controller Menu[[BR]]
    258258
     259  * Disable Detection [default=No][[BR]]
     260  This menu option is only available for slave drives. Setting this to Yes allows the BIOS to skip detection of this drive and the computer will boot slightly faster as a result. You will probably want to do this for IDE controllers that don't support slave drives at all.
     261
    259262  * Block Mode Transfers [default=Yes][[BR]]
    260263  Block Mode Transfers will increase performance by speeding up transfer rates. Normally this should be enabled but there are some hard drives out there with a buggy block mode implementation. For example, the Quantum ProDrive LPS 340A will not work correctly with Block Mode Transfers enabled in polling mode (i.e. with Enable interrupt set to No).
