The Boot menu allows you to select among the three possible boot devices listed using the up and down
arrow keys . By using the [+] key, you can promote devices and by using the [-] key, you can demote
devices. Devices with a "+" next to them allows you to view device information when you press [Enter]
on that selection.

Hard Drive refers to the internal built-in hard disk drive.
