designations. For example, if you start up from a hard drive in the
computer MultiBay, that hard drive becomes drive C and a hard
drive in the hard drive bay becomes drive D. If you start up from
a diskette drive in the external diskette drive bay, that diskette
drive becomes drive A. Starting up from a network board does not
affect logical drive designations.

Selecting a MultiBoot Utility

You can enable MultiBoot and change the sequence of the
computer drive bay locations that the computer searches during
startup by using Compaq Computer Security or Computer Setup.
Computer Setup can be used even when your operating
system is not working or will not load.
In Computer Setup the list of bootable devices includes only
the bootable devices currently in the computer or an optional
docking base. The external diskette drive bay does not list in
the boot order field, but is always searched first for a bootable
diskette.
In Compaq Computer Security the list of bootable devices
includes all bootable devices supported by the BIOS. If you
set a boot sequence for a bootable device that is not currently
in the system, the device will be included in the boot sequence
when it is present and ignored when it is not present.
