Ok I went to my bios and secondary master. my nec drive is displayed there. here is what it says:
Type : Auto
Multi-sector control : disabled
LBA Mode control : disabled
32 Bit I/0 : enabled
Transfer Mode : FPIO4/DMA 2
Ultra DMA mode : Mode 2
Hide Mode : Disabled
Are these correct? If I change the Type to "User" instead of Auto, it allows me to change some of the stuff. Like transfer mode can be FPIO 3/DMA 1, Fast PIO 4, fast PIO 3, fast PIO 3, fast PIO 1, Standard. Ultra DMA mode can also change to Mode 1, Mode 2, Mode 3, Mode 4, Mode 5, and Disabled.
