If you read some of the documentation regarding 32-bit disk
access, I think what it says is that it isn't entirely com-
patible with some IDE drives, etc.

SETUP probably "asks" the controller to identify itself and
if certain info doesn't match what Windows knows will be 
compatible, it won't give you the option.

Try the Windows Resource Kit for more info.
