M ultiBoot XP

MultiBoot XP comes with a complete new look of the Boot Device Priority submenu. This submenu is now
separated into two sections:
Boot Priority Order
®
Excluded from Boot Order
®
MultiBoot XP can display the setup menus by each kind of device type and arrange the boot priority order
with any sequence of devices. MultiBoot XP meets the requirements of PC 98 and accommodates more
devices that are bootable. It employs a boot scheme that is generic and flexible enough to boot from any
current device. You can select your boot device in Setup, or you can choose a different device each time
you boot by selecting your boot device in the Boot First function.
An available bootable device can be easily switched between the two sections by just highlighting the
device and then pressing <X>. To change the order, select the device to change and press <-> to
decrease or <+> to increase priority. You can also choose between four default configurations for the
boot order <1>-<4>.
