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
hard drive is present since the C: designator is always reserved for the internal hard drive.The boot
sequence ignores new drive designations, but your application software will use the new designations.
■
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.)
