ABSTRACT:
A system and method is disclosed for a personal computer (PC) to auto-detect the configuration of mass storage devices installed by the user. At least one drive table contains numerous configurations pertaining to industry-standard mass storage devices. These numerous configurations are compared to the configuration which is auto-detected. If a match occurs, then the PC adopts that configuration. However, the PC permits the user to override this configuration by entering a custom configuration or by selecting another configuration from the drive table(s). If no match occurs, then the user is permitted to select one of numerous generic configurations pertaining to mass storage devices. Accordingly, the PC system configuration if used on a different PC will function properly if the selected generic configuration matches a configuration found in the BIOS program of the different PC.
