MultiBoot (Advanced Users Only)

Specifying MultiBoot Preferences

You can set either:

A continuing startup sequence that the notebook uses each time it starts up.

or

A variable startup sequence, called MultiBoot Express, that sets the notebook to prompt you for a startup location each time it is started or restarted.

You set the MultiBoot Express timeout as you set up the prompt. If you do not press a key or select a startup medium within the timeout, the notebook continues startup according to the current MultiBoot sequence.
