Boot menu
The
Boot
menu is used to specify the order of devices from which the computer attempts
to load the operating system when it is switched on.
To specify a device as a boot device, an operating system must be available on
the device.
The types of devices in your system are listed. The order in which they are shown is the
order in which the computer will attempt to load the operating system. In the example
shown, it will start by attempting to load the operating system from the first removable
device.
If there are multiple devices of a particular type, ‘
+
’ is shown next to the device type. This
indicates that you can expand that device type and view a list of the devices of this type
that are available. To do this, use the
↑
and
↓
keys to highlight the device type, and then
press
Enter
. You can use the
Enter
key to toggle between showing and hiding the list of
devices of this type.
You can change the order of devices from which the computer tries to load the operating
system. To move a device in the order, highlight the device and press either
+
(to move it
up the order, so the computer tries to load the operating system from it sooner) or
–
(to
move it down the order).
