2. C: then A: Used to boot from the C: drive, or if none is present, boot
from the A: drive.
3. C: only: Used to boot from the C: drive without searching for an A:
drive.
The default is “A: then C:”.
The setting chosen here displays in the Boot Sequence Sub-Menu prompt in the Main
BIOS Setup screen.
Setup Prompt
This option is used to enable or disable the message “Press F2 to enter Setup.” Even
if the message is disabled, the F2 key can still be pressed at the appropriate time to
enter the Setup Menu. The default is “Enabled”.
POST Errors
This option is used to stop during the boot process if the POST encounters errors.
Otherwise, the system continues to attempt to boot despite any startup error messages
that display. Note that this option only affects those errors defined as boot failures.
See Chapter 9, Troubleshooting and Error Messages, for a list of those failures
defined as boot failures that are configured to halt the system. The default is
“Enabled”.
Floppy Check
This option is used to enable or disable the floppy drive search during the boot. To
speed up booting, the floppy check should be disabled. It is still possible to boot from
the A: drive even with the floppy check disabled. The default is “Enabled”.
Summary Screen
This option is used to enable or disable a summary of the system configuration, which
displays before the operating system starts to load. To speed up booting, disable the
summary screen. The default is “Enabled”.
