CD and DVD Software

Starting Up from the Optical Drive

By default, the notebook starts up from the internal hard drive. You can set the notebook to start up from a bootable CD or DVD in the optical drive. A bootable CD or DVD contains files needed by the notebook to start up and operate properly. On some models, you can also start up from a hard drive or a bootable medium in a removable storage drive connected to the notebook by USB.

Startup preferences are set in the Setup utility. The Setup utility is not a Windows utility and does not support the TouchPad.

To open the Setup utility, turn on or restart the notebook, then press F10 before Windows opens and while the F10 = ROM Based Setup prompt is displayed in the lower left corner of the screen.

For more information about using the Setup utility, see the “Setup and Support Utilities” chapter.
