Desktop Management
The default boot order varies from computer to computer, and it can be changed in the Computer
Setup (F10) Utility.
If you have used a DOS version from Windows 9x, you may see a brief Windows logo screen. If
you do not want this screen, add a zero-length file named LOGO.SYS to the root directory of the
USB flash media device.

Unsupported USB Flash Media Device

Ä
CAUTION: Not all computers can be booted from a USB flash media device. If the default boot order in
the Computer Setup (F10) Utility lists the USB device before the hard drive, the computer can be booted
from a USB flash media device. Otherwise, a bootable diskette must be used.
To create a bootable USB flash media device, you must have:
One of the following systems:
HP Compaq Business Desktop dc7100 series
HP Compaq Business Desktop dx6100 series
HP Compaq Business Desktop d530 Series—Ultra-Slim Desktop, Small Form Factor, or
Convertible Minitower
Compaq Evo D510 Ultra-Slim Desktop
Compaq Evo D510 Convertible Minitower/Small Form Factor
Depending on the individual BIOS, future systems may also support booting to a USB flash
media device.
Ä
CAUTION: If you are using a computer other than one named above, make sure the default boot order
in the Computer Setup (F10) Utility lists the USB device before the hard drive.
A bootable DOS diskette with the FDISK and SYS programs. If SYS is not available,
FORMAT may be used, but all existing files on the USB flash media device will be lost.
1. If there are any PCI cards in the system that have SCSI, ATA RAID or SATA drives attached,
turn off the computer and unplug the power cord.
Ä
CAUTION: The power cord MUST be unplugged.
2. Open the computer and remove the PCI cards.
3. Insert the USB flash media device into one of the computer's USB ports and remove all other
USB storage devices except USB diskette drives. Close the computer cover.
