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 or a hard drive format. When a bootable CD-ROM is used,  
drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If 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 is disabled. A bootable CD-ROM cannot use a C: designation if a formatted internal  
In order for a portable USB memory device (e.g., JumpDrive or memory stick) to be recognized in the Boot  
Device Priority list, it must have been installed before booting the system.  
Note that some older portable USB memory devices may not be recognized as bootable devices.  
The Boot Menu can also be invoked outside of the Setup Utility using the TrustedCore menu or the [F12]  
key. (See Using the TrustedCore Menu on page 2 for more information.)
