BIOS Setup
3.1.2.3 CD-ROM Boot Priority
This field is used to select the boot sequence of the CD-ROM
drives. Move the cursor to this field then press <Enter>. Use the
Up or Down arrow keys to select a device then press <+> to
move it up or <-> to move it down the list.
The settings on the screen are for reference only. Your version may not be identical
to this one.
3.1.2.4 Virus Warning
This field protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard
disk drive. When this field is enabled, the Award BIOS will monitor
the boot sector and partition table of the hard disk drive. If an
attempt is made to write to the boot sector or partition table of
the hard disk drive, the BIOS will halt the system and an error
message will appear.
After seeing the error message, if necessary, you will be able to run
an anti-virus program to locate and remove the problem before any
damage is done.
Many disk diagnostic programs which attempt to access the boot
sector table will cause the warning message to appear. If you are
running such a program, we recommend that you first disable this
field. Also, disable this field if you are installing or running certain
operating systems like Windows
®
95/98/2000/ME/XP or the operat-
ing system may not install nor work.
