BOOT MENU – SELECTING THE OPERATING SYSTEM SOURCE
The Boot Menu is used to select the order in which the
BIOS searches sources for the operating system. Follow
the instructions for Navigating Through the Setup
Utility to make any changes. (See Navigating through the
Setup Utility on page 2 for more information.)
■ Be aware of the operating environment when booting from a CD or you may overwrite files by mistake.
A bootable CD-ROM has 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 floppy disk format is used, the
CD-ROM becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal hard
drive is disabled or not present. The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C designation if a formatted inter-
nal hard drive is present since the C designator is reserved for the internal hard drive.The boot sequence
ignores the new drive designations, however, your application software will use the new designations.

Description
The boot selections determine the order in which the BIOS searches for the operating system during a
startup sequence. To change the order, highlight one source by using the [up] or [down] cursor keys and
then press the [+] or [-] key to change the order number. Tapping [x] removes from the list a device that is
not installed. Tapping [x] on an item in the Excluded list adds the device to the Boot priority list. Be sure to
save your changed order when you exit the BIOS setup utility.
NOTE: Be aware that if you use the CD-ROM drive as the first boot device, certain files may be
overwritten, depending upon your operating environment.
