Selecting a startup device

If your computer does not start up from a device such as the disc, diskette, or hard disk drive as expected,
use one of the following procedures to select a startup device.

Selecting a temporary startup device

Use this procedure to start up from any start device.
Note: Not all discs, hard disk drives, and diskettes are bootable.
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Press and hold the F12 key, and then turn on the computer. When the Please select boot device
window displays, release the F12 key.
Note: If you are using a USB keyboard and the Please select boot device window does not display
using this method, repeatedly press and release the F12 key rather than leaving it pressed when turning
on the computer.
3. Select the desired startup device from the boot device list and press Enter to begin.
Note: Selecting a startup device from the Please select boot device window does not permanently change
the startup sequence.

Selecting or changing the startup device sequence

To view or permanently change the configured startup device sequence, do the following:
1. Start the Setup Utility program. See "Starting the Setup Utility program" on page 39.
2. Select Startup.
3. See the information displayed on the right side of the screen.
4. Select the devices for the Primary Startup Sequence, the Automatic Startup Sequence, and the Error
Startup Sequence.
5. Select Exit from the Setup Utility menu and then Save Changes and Exit.
If you have changed these settings and want to return to the default settings, select Load Optimal Settings
from the Exit menu.

Advanced settings

On some computer models, the Advanced menu includes a setting to enable or disable HyperThreading.
This feature works only with HyperThreading-aware operating systems, such as Windows Vista and
Windows XP. The default setting for HyperThreading is Enabled. However, if you select Set Defaults and
are using an operating system other than Windows Vista or Windows XP, your computer performance
might be degraded. Therefore, you should always set HyperThreading to Disabled unless you are sure
your operating system supports HyperThreading.

Exiting from the Setup Utility program

After you finish viewing or changing settings, press Esc to return to the Setup Utility program menu (you
might have to press Esc several times). If you want to save the new settings, select Exit ® Save Changes
and Exit. Otherwise, your changes will not be saved.
