Boot Menu - Selecting The Operating System Source - Fujitsu LIFEBOOK P701 Bios Manual

BOOT MENU – SELECTING THE OPERATING SYSTEM SOURCE
The Boot Menu is used to select the order in which the
BIOS searches sources for the operating system. Follow
the instructions for Navigating Through the Setup
Utility to make any changes. (See Navigating through
the Setup Utility on page 2 for more information.)
Be careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD or you may overwrite files by mistake.

A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk format or a hard drive format. When the CD-ROM is used,

drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format is used,
the CD-ROM becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal
hard drive is not present or disabled. 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 hard drive.The boot
sequence ignores the new drive designations, but your application software will use the new designations.

Description
The boot selections determine the order in which the BIOS searches for the operating system during the
startup sequence. To change the order, highlight one source by using the [up] or [down] cursor keys and
then press the [+] or [-] key to change the order number. Tapping [x] removes from the list a device that is
not installed. Tapping [x] on an item in the Excluded list adds the device to the Boot priority list. Be sure to
save your changed order when you exit the BIOS setup utility by either going to the Exit Menu and
choosing Exit Saving Changes, or pressing F10 and choosing Yes to Save and Exit.
NOTE: Be aware that if you use the CD-ROM drive as the first boot device, certain files may be
overwritten, depending upon your operating environment.
The following table shows devices associated with your
notebook and the order in which they will be searched
for the boot device.
