Figure 3-13. BIOS Configuration Selection
Support Removable Disks as Fixed Disk
This option allows you to configure removable media drives sup-
ported by the BIOS. The default setting is Boot Device Only. The fol-
lowing choices are available:
Boot Device Only – Only the removable media drive desig-
nated as the boot device will be treated as a fixed disk.
All Devices – All removable media drives supported by the
BIOS will be treated as fixed disk drives.
Disabled – No removable drives will be treated as fixed disks.
In this situation, software drivers are needed because the
drives are not controlled by the BIOS.
Note:
Support for removable drives means that only the
BIOS allows for use of a removable drive as if it were a fixed
disk drive; it does not mean that the disk media can be
removed during operation. Removing the media during
operation can result in the loss of data.
