BOOT MENU – SELECTING THE OPERATING SYSTEM SOURCE
The Boot Menu is used to select the order in which the
BIOS searches sources for the operating system. Follow
the instructions for Navigating Through the Setup
Utility to make any changes.
(See Navigating through
the Setup Utility on page 2 for more information.)
The following tables show the names of the menu fields
for the Boot menu, the default settings and a description
of the field's function and any special information
needed to help understand the field's use.

The boot selections determine the order in which the BIOS searches for the operating system during a
startup sequence. To change the order, highlight one source by using the [up] or [down] cursor keys and
then press the [+] or [-] key to change the order number. (You can also change the order by tapping the
spacebar to move the item up.) Tapping [x] removes from the list a device that is not installed. Tapping [x]
on an item in the Excluded list adds the device to the Boot priority list. Be sure to save your changed order
when you exit the BIOS setup utility.
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.
Be careful 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 hard drive format. When the bootable CD-ROM is used, drive alloca-
tions 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.
The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C: designation if a formatted internal hard drive is present since the C: des-
ignator is always reserved for the internal drive. The boot sequence ignores the new drive designations, but your
application software will use the new designations.
