Boot Device Priority lists all bootable devices (hard-disk drives, CD-ROM drives, and so on) that are controlled by the system BIOS and any Plug and Play network adapters installed in the system.

Exclude From Boot Device Priority allows you to remove from Boot Device Priority any boot devices that you want the system to ignore during system start-up.

Device Controller Priority lists the system BIOS controller; any non-Plug and Play devices, such as network adapter cards; and any secondary controller cards installed in the system.

NOTE: Non-Plug and Play devices appear in the list as Adapters without ID support.

When determining the order of devices to boot from, the system first considers the order of the devices listed under Device Controller Priority and then considers the order of devices under Boot Device Priority.

To specify your priority preferences, order the devices under these options so that the highest-priority controller is at the top of Device Controller Priority and the highest- priority device is at the top of Boot Device Priority. Order the remainder of the devices in Boot Device Priority according to your preferences. Move any devices that you want the system to ignore during start-up into Exclude From Boot Device Priority.

NOTE: The system defines drive C in Boot Device Priority as the first hard-disk drive attached to the highest-priority device controller.

To change the order of the devices, press <Ctrl> and the up- or down-arrow key. If you want to revert to the original Boot Device Priority settings, press <Ctrl><Del>.
