Boot Device Priority Submenu of the Boot Menu

The Boot Device Priority submenu is for setting the order of checking of sources for the operating system.

■Be aware 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 a hard drive format. When a bootable CD-ROM is used, drive allocations 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. A bootable CD-ROM cannot use a C: designation if a formatted internal

hard drive is present since the C: designator is always reserved for the internal hard drive.The boot sequence ignores new drive designations, but your application software will use the new designations.

■In order for a portable USB memory device (e.g., JumpDrive or memory stick) to be recognized in the Boot Device Priority list, it must have been installed before booting the system.

■Note that some older portable USB memory devices may not be recognized as bootable devices.

■The Boot Menu can also be invoked outside of the Setup Utility using the TrustedCore menu or the [F12] key. (See Using the TrustedCore Menu on page 2 for more information.)
