A bootable CD-ROM may have 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 
CD-ROM is used the CD-ROM becomes
Drive A. If a hard disk format CD-ROM
is used the internal hard drive becomes
Drive D and the CD-ROM becomes
Drive C and all other drive designations
shift as necessary. The boot sequence
ignores the new drive designations, 
however, your application software will
use the new designations.

C A U T I O N

Be careful of the operating environment
when booting from a CD-ROM or you
may overwrite files by mistake.
