Boot Device Priority Submenu of the Boot Menu
The Boot Device Priority submenu is for setting the order of checking of sources for the operating system.
■
Be aware 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 a bootable 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 internal
hard drive is not present or is disabled. A 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, but your application software will use the new designations.
