Changing Boot Sequence for the Current Boot

You can use this feature to change the current boot sequence, for example, to boot from the CD/DVD/CD-RW drive to run Dell Diagnostics from the Drivers and Utilities disc. On completion of the diagnostic tests, the previous boot sequence is restored.

1If you are booting from a USB device, connect the USB device to a USB port.

2Turn on (or restart) your computer.

3When F2 Setup, F12 Boot Options appears in the lower-right corner of the screen, press <F12>.

NOTE: If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Microsoft Windows desktop. Then, shut down your computer and try again.

The Boot Device Menu appears, listing all available boot devices.

4On the Boot Device Menu choose the device you want to boot from.

For example, if you are booting to a USB memory key, highlight

USB Storage Device and press <Enter>.

NOTE: To boot to a USB device, the device must be bootable. To ensure your device is bootable, check the device documentation.
