Fujitsu A3110 Boot Device Priority Submenu of the Boot Menu, Menu Field, Default Description

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 format or a hard drive format. When a bootable CD-ROM is used, drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If a floppy disk format is used, the CD-ROM becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if internal hard drive is not present or is disabled. A 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 designations, but your application software will use the new designations.
