Hard disks can be configured in the Standard CMOS Set-up section of the
BIOS set-up menu. If you have set the hard disk jumper to Slave and have
connected the data cable to the Primary IDE plug of the motherboard, it may
only be necessary to set the TYPE and MODE parameters for the Primary
Slave disk to Auto (this information is usually sufficient for BIOS to properly
detect and configure modern hard disks.)
