Anti-Virus

This option allows the user to protect the hard disk driver or diskette's boot sector from
unnecessary writing. The available settings are Enabled and Disabled.
Setting this option to Disabled makes writing on the boot sector possible.
If you select Enabled for this option, when you use the FORMAT, DISKCOPY, or SYS command
or any program that tries to write on the boot sector, you will see the following warning message.
Boot Sector Write!!!
Possible VIRUS: Continue (Y/N)? _
At this point if you want to complete the running of the program regardless of the message above,
press Y.
If you see the message above in spite of having not run programs described above, viruses may
try to write on the boot sector. Select N to prevent the virus from writing on the boot sector.
Notice that if you want to install an operating system, set this option to Disabled.

Default Menu

The icons in this section permit you to select a group of settings for all Setup options. Not only
can you use these icons to quickly set system configuration parameters, you can choose a group
of settings that have a better chance of working when the system is having configuration-related
problems.

Original

Choose the Original icon to return to the system configuration values present in Setup when you
first began this Setup session.

Optimal

You can load the optimal default settings for the Setup by selecting the Optimal icon. The Optimal
default settings are best-case values that should optimize system performance. If NVRAM is
corrupted, the Optimal settings are loaded automatically.
