Figure 15. Boot Device Priority Submenu  
Be aware of the operating environment when booting from a CD-ROM or you may overwrite files by  
mistake.  
A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk format or a hard drive format. When the bootable CD-  
ROM is used, the 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 is 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  
internal hard drive. The boot sequence ignores the new drive designations, however, your application  
software will use the new designations.  
Table 15: Fields, Options and Defaults for the Boot Device Priority Submenu of the Boot Menu  
Menu Field  
Description  
1st Boot Device  
2nd Boot Device  
3rd Boot Device  
The boot selections determine the order in which the BIOS searches for the operating system during a startup  
sequence. To view all devices related to a source, press [Enter]. To change the order, highlight one source by using  
the [up] or [down] cursor keys and then press the [Enter] key to assign the selected device to the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd  
position. To select a specific hard disk drive, return to the previous screen and click on Hard Disk Drives Priority; select  
the desired hard disk drive. To select a specific optical drive, return to the previous screen and click on CD/DVD  
Drives Priority; select the desired drive. If an exclamation point appear next to an item, it means the device has been  
disabled in the corresponding menu.  
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.  
Exiting from Boot Menu  
When you have finished setting the boot parameters with the Boot menu, you can either exit from the setup utility or  
move to another menu. If you wish to exit from the setup utility press the Esc key to go to the Exit menu. If you wish to  
move to another menu, use the cursor keys.
