Boot Up Floppy Seek

When Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine whether they have 40 or 80 tracks.
Only 360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks. Drives with 720KB, 1.2MB, and 1.44MB capacity all
have 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40-track floppy drives, we recommend that you
set this field to “Disabled”.
Options: Enabled、Disabled (default)
