Description
Previous Boot
Detects if a boot sequence was not completed properly when enabled. An incomplete boot may be
caused by a power failure, reset during boot up, or invalid CMOS configuration. If the BIOS detects this
condition, it will display the following message: “Previous boot incomplete - default configuration used.”
The system is then rebooted using the default configuration. If this option is disabled, the system BIOS
will not detect an incomplete boot. As a result, the system may not boot if the CMOS settings are
wrong.
