C A U T I O N

Be careful of the operating environment when booting from a CD-ROM or you may overwrite files by mistake.

C A U T I O N

A bootable CD-ROM may have either a floppy disk for- mat or a hard drive format. When the bootable CD- ROM is used, the drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk for- mat CD-ROM 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: designator is always reserved for the internal hard drive.The boot sequence ignores the new drive designa- tions; however, your application software will use the new designations.
