A bootable CD-ROM may have either a floppy disk or
hard drive format. When the bootable CD-ROM is
used, the drive allocations change automatically with-
out changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format
CD-ROM is used, the CD-ROM becomes Drive A.
The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive for-
mat) if the internal hard drive is not present or is dis-
abled. The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C:
designation if a formatted internal hard drive is
present since the C: designator is always reserved for
the internal hard drive.The boot sequence ignores the
new drive designations, however, your application
software will use the new designations.
Be careful of the operating environment when boot-
ing from a CD-ROM or you may overwrite files by
mistake.
