Boot Device Priority Submenu of the Boot Menu
The Boot Device Priority submenu is for setting the order of checking of sources for the operating system.
■
Be aware of the operating environment when booting from a CD or you may overwrite files by mistake.
A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk format or a hard drive format. When a bootable CD-ROM is
■
used, drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format is
used, the CD-ROM becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if internal
hard drive is not present or is disabled. A bootable CD-ROM can never use a C: designation if a formatted
internal hard drive is present since the C: designator is always reserved for the internal hard drive.The boot
sequence ignores the new drive designations, but your application software will use the new designations.

Boot selections determine the order the BIOS searches for the
operating system during a startup sequence. To change the
order, use the [up] or [down] cursor keys to select the device.
Press the [Space Bar] to assign the drive to the selected boot
device.
NOTE: If you use the CD/DVD drive as the first boot device,
certain files may be overwritten depending upon your operating
environment.
