■Be aware of the operating environment when booting from a CD-ROM/DVD-ROM or you may over- write files by mistake.

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