Boot Sequence
This feature allows you to change the boot sequence for devices.
Boot Options
• USB Floppy — The computer attempts to boot from the USB floppy
drive. If no operating system is on the floppy disk, the computer generates
an error message.
• Hard Drive — The computer attempts to boot from the primary hard
drive. If no operating system is on the drive, the computer generates an
error message.
• CD/DVD/CD-RW Drive — The computer attempts to boot from the
CD/DVD/CD-RW drive. If no CD/DVD/CD-RW is in the drive, or if the
CD/DVD/CD-RW has no operating system, the computer generates an
error message.
• USB Storage Device — Insert the memory device into a USB port and
restart the computer. When
F12 Boot Options
appears in the
lower-right corner of the screen, press <F12>. The BIOS detects the
device and adds the USB flash option to the boot menu.

To boot to a USB device, the device must be bootable. To ensure that
your device is bootable, check the device documentation.

operating system is found on the network, the computer generates an error
